Frequently Asked Questions
Do disappearing messages delete from servers too?
WeTalkin's zero-knowledge servers never have access to message content. Messages are encrypted, delivered, and deleted per timer. Once the timer expires, messages are removed from all devices.
Can recipients screenshot before messages disappear?
Recipients can screenshot or photograph the screen before messages expire. Disappearing messages reduce the risk of long-term data exposure but cannot prevent a determined recipient from preserving content externally.
Can I change the timer after setting it?
Yes. Change the timer at any time — the new timer applies to future messages. Previously sent messages keep their original timer. Adjust as needed based on conversation sensitivity.
