On the heels of our video messaging launch, we’re excited to announce several new iOS 11-tailored features including drag and drop support for iPad, Siri’s “show my Confide QR code”, and screen recording prevention.

Drag and Drop

You can now drag and drop content into Confide on iPad. Droppable formats include text, photos, videos, documents and address book contacts.

“Hey Siri, show my Confide QR code”

Inviting and adding friends on Confide is now even easier. Just say “Hey Siri, show my Confide QR code”. Scanning the QR code is, well, a snap — use the built-in QR scanner in Confide or even just the Camera app on iOS 11.

Screen Recording

Wondering about the new screen recording feature in iOS 11? Confide is screenshot-protected (and completely screenshot-proof for videos). …

At Confide, we are obsessed with ephemerality and screenshot-protection. Why? Because we believe one of the greatest vulnerabilities of email and messaging is the fact that there are copies of our digital communication floating around everywhere — on servers, on devices, in recipients’ inboxes, and more. In our quest to make digital communication as private and secure as the spoken word, leaving no copies behind is critically important, which is exactly how we’ve engineered video messaging.

Confide messages are already completely screenshot-proof on Android, Mac and PC. But due to limitations in iOS, Confide messages on iPhone and iPad are merely screenshot-protected. Video messaging is the first Confide media format that is completely screenshot-proof on all of our platforms, including iOS. If a screenshot is attempted on iOS, none of the actual video content will be on it. It will just be a black screen (complete with a reminder not to attempt screenshots and one of our favorite “confide” quotations — we couldn’t resist…). …

We are huge iPad fans, but we also know the majority of iOS usage happens on iPhones. So it made sense to focus our efforts on providing a great mobile experience first. Our iPhone app previously ran on iPad, but for a messaging app with keyboard input, you really want an iPad optimized experience. This is probably why a Confide iPad app has been one of the most requested features we hear from our customers. We are excited to finally fulfill this request today with the launch of Confide for iPad.

Confide is now a universal app on iOS, designed for both iPhone and iPad. We’ve optimized the app to support all iPad screen sizes from the iPad mini to the 12.9" iPad Pro. And the app supports iPad specific features as well, including Split View, Slide Over, and keyboard shortcuts. …

We couldn’t be more excited to launch Confide for iMessage. Why are we doing it? Three reasons — Location, Location, Location.

Confide for iMessage allows iMessage users to seamlessly send and receive Confide’s secure, private and self-destructing messages without ever leaving the comfort and convenience of the iMessage app. This not only provides significant value for iMessage users but also furthers Confide’s mission of providing confidential messaging on any device, for any platform, in any country and now, via third-party integrations and partnerships.

Confide for iMessage

Frictionless

Sometimes confidential conversations don’t start out as confidential. As the content of the text or email thread becomes more sensitive, people often say “Taking this to Confide…”. The great thing about Confide for iMessage is that absolutely everything happens within the iMessage app. There’s never a need to “Take the conversation to Confide” or switch to another app because Confide is fully integrated into the experience. …

Today, we’re incredibly excited to launch voice messaging on Confide!

We built voice messaging because we ultimately want people to be able to confide any medium, from any application, on any device, in any country. We already support lots and lots (and lots) of devices, several forms of media, and a ton of languages spanning 180 countries, so voice messaging was a logical next step.

Why Voice Messaging?

Since Confide messages are encrypted, ephemeral and screenshot-protected, we often describe Confide as the digital version of a phone call. Or we talk about Confide combining the privacy and security of the spoken word with the convenience of digital communication. …

When we launched Confide two years ago our goal was to create a global and ubiquitous messenger that allowed people to communicate digitally with the same level of privacy and security as the spoken word. We’re proud to announce that with Confide now available in 15 languages across iOS, Android, Apple Watch, Mac and PC and being used in over 180 countries, we have made significant progress towards that goal. Along the way we have expanded our offering to include text, photos and documents knowing that in this multimedia world, people communicate with more than just their words. And we have built an extraordinary team with world-class investors who share our passion and vision. Today, we are thrilled to announce we have raised $1.6 …

When we launched Confide 18 months ago our goal was to create a global and ubiquitous off-the-record messaging platform that allowed professionals and business people to communicate digitally with the same level of privacy and security as the spoken word.

And we have expanded our offering to include photos and documents. As a result, Confide is now used in over 180 countries worldwide. Today, we are pleased to announce another major step toward our goal. …

For decades, we have marveled at comic book detectives, TV heroes and big-screen secret agents who use their wristwatch for confidential communication. With today’s introduction of Apple Watch, this is no longer relegated to science fiction. Introducing Confide for Apple Watch — bringing off-the-record communication to your wrist.
