How to Use Signal App's New Disappearing Messages. And, for my next trick, I shall make all of my text messages disappear. I am always perplexed when someone's text messages are hacked; especially celebrities and other persons in the public eye, whose lives can be irrevocably altered by exposure of confidential, private information and relationships. In fact, there are any number of free, easy to use, tools to keep information confidential. Nothing is perfect, of course; but, if you absolutely, positively, need to engage in confidential communications with a client or colleague or significant other, why not use all the protection you can? Signal is well known for its end to end encryption of text messaging; but, lesser known is its ability to make messages disappear, both from your device and from the device of the person with whom you are engaging in the communication of private information. With a click, you can tell Signal to delete any text message upon expiration of any time limit you choose. Be careful out there.
