How to send self-destructing messages in Signal

Signal appeared a long time ago, but it has been an app that has not come to life until recently, due to the change in WhatsApp conditions, well, the new functions of Signal allow us to send messages that self – destruct in such a way that we can have secret conversations with whoever we want.

The configuration of messages that self-destruct in Signal is quite similar to that of WhatsApp, in addition we have also tested the messages that self-destruct in Telegram and it is a much more complete function than that of Signal or WhatsApp.

The messages that self-destruct are really useful , for example, if we are having a conversation with someone about bank accounts and we want to send an account to make a transfer, or the data of a credit card, we can do it with the self-destruction of messages enabled, so that they only view it once.

Who “spies” on you the most? WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal?

Next, we will show you how we can activate the self-destruction of messages in Signal so that you can have more private and secret conversations with your contacts, follow these steps to achieve it:

  • The first thing we will have to do is start a chat with any of our contacts.
  • Then we will click on the 3 dots that we find in the upper right part of the chat.
  • A menu will appear where we will have to choose the option “Disappearance of messages” .
  • Now the next step will be to select the time we want for the messages to be automatically deleted in this chat.
  • When we have already chosen the time, when sending a message you will see that a reverse clock appears indicating the time remaining for the photo or message to be deleted.

You should know that when you activate the disappearance of messages in that chat, all the content you send through it will be deleted , and when we say everything is everything, messages, photos, files, emoticons and stickers.

Now you know how you can send self-destructing messages in Signal so that you can have your most private and intimate conversations and that secrets that you want to hide do not come to light.
