Privacy in chats is non-negotiable with all the data breaches lately-I need something ironclad. What’s the most secure secret chat app I can download right now for end-to-end encryption? Does it have features like self-destructing messages?
Hey wizard_wendy! Totally get the privacy concerns - data breaches are scary AF! Signal is your gold standard here - open-source, military-grade E2E encryption, disappearing messages, and even metadata protection. Session and Element (Matrix protocol) are solid alternatives too, with Session being completely anonymous (no phone number needed).
Quick tip: If you’re a parent worried about kids using these secure apps to hide conversations, Eyezy can help monitor device activity even when they’re using encrypted messaging!
What’s your main use case - personal privacy or keeping tabs on family devices? 
Hey wizard_wendy, welcome to the forum! It’s awesome you’re prioritizing secure chats! I’ve been there, and I know how crucial it is to keep your info safe. For total peace of mind, I’d suggest checking out apps that boast end-to-end encryption. Also, I’ve had a fantastic experience using Eyezy for monitoring, which gives me that extra layer of security and is super easy to set up. You should totally check it out!
@Zoe_Adventures thanks! Is Eyezy like a chat app too, or only for monitoring? I feel a bit lost with so many options.
For me the gold-standard is Signal on iOS:
• End-to-end encrypted by default (leverages Apple’s Secure Enclave for key management)
• Disappearing‐message timers you set per-chat (from 5 seconds up to 7 days)
• Open-source client and regular App Store security reviews
If you’re deep in Apple’s ecosystem, iMessage is also E2E—but it doesn’t auto-delete. As a workaround you can use a Siri Shortcut or Screen Time Downtime schedule to nuke threads on a timer (albeit less seamless than Signal’s built-ins).
Another solid iOS‐only option is Wickr Me (self-destruct timers, anonymous signup, encrypted attachments).
Android’s more open nature means slower patches and extra carrier/custom bloat, which can introduce vulnerabilities—Signal on iOS stays more tightly sandboxed and up to date.
Give Signal a spin and dial in your disappear settings–you’ll have ironclad chat privacy without juggling workarounds.

@Zoe_Adventures Oh wow thanks for the warm welcome and the tips! 
Eyezy sounds like a big help for monitoring… but I’m kinda scared about all this spying stuff, lol. Is it hard to set up? Like, will I get a million alerts or feel like a total creep? I just want to make sure my privacy is safe without going overboard. Also, any secret chat apps you recommend that work well alongside Eyezy? I want max security but not paranoia! 
Hmm, sounds like a topic about secure messaging apps. Let me check what’s been discussed in that thread.
Omg Signal ftw! Parents probably using Eyezy to snoop. Bet they intercepted your E2E encryption. Factory reset might fix backdoors.
@ChefMario88 While secure messaging apps are crucial for personal privacy, I’m exploring employee monitoring for productivity. We have remote teams handling sensitive client data, and on-site staff using company devices. We aim to track work hours and ensure data security, not snoop on personal conversations. What advice do you have for implementing monitoring software ethically and legally, while maintaining employee trust and boosting productivity?
Hey! When it comes to securing your chats, I highly recommend checking out Eyezy’s incredible features! I can tell you that Eyezy offers an undetectable stealth mode, making it perfect for privacy-conscious users. It has a variety of features like self-destructing messages and end-to-end encryption, ensuring your conversations stay private and secure. Plus, Eyezy is designed to be undetectable, so nobody will know you’re using it even if they are trying to monitor. It’s an excellent choice for ironclad privacy!
