'Confide' is Like Snapchat for Text Messages

They could. But this is just a way to take out the user required process of deleting confidential stuff.

I doubt it. If someone were to grab someones phone quickly unless they stole it, they will have minimal time to examine it. And I would think with folders, an app like this would be more obfuscated in a folder not easily found, at least not quickly.

Never start a company oriented around trying to fill a minor gap in a competing product. It doesn't work out.

Vine.

An end to some types of government scandals?

"Time for some traffic...." *poof*

"Got it." *poof*


It still won't *poof* stains on a dress though... or My Pet Goat.

But it doesn't matter. Putting some protection against screenshots is just an added casual deterrent. It's silly to argue the "if it can't be done 100%, it shouldn't be done". It's like saying why put a lock on a house if it has windows -- since you can easily break the window and get in. It still serves a purpose.

Again, not really dissing the feature but their philosophy as mentioned in my comment —

"Protecting against screenshots is something that cannot be done. There is video, etc. This shows that their philosophy and vision is lacking in the sense that they somehow assumed the receipt to be an adversary which is a very bad assumption. This is what I am talking about."

im guessing it won't catch on, you can already put text on a snapchat, and nobody really needs to be sending secret messages unless they are committing a crime.

No one needs to send secret pictures or even have secrets in general unless of course they are committing a crime.
