Soon! wants to be the safe alternative to WhatsApp
Table of contents:
A new application wants to offer us the security that WhatsApp or Telegram still do not have today. Soon!, available for both iOS and Android, allows us to send messages with a predefined expiration date. That is, we can send a photo, a text message or a video and have it deleted after 5 seconds, 10 seconds or 24 hours. In addition, we can choose if we want to avoid screenshots.
One of the most interesting points of Pronto is that the person to whom we send our message does not need to have the application installed We will create the message, which can be text or an image, and we select the expiration time. Once we finish, we can share it through the messaging application that we want. The person in question will receive a link that they can open on their device.
How Pronto! works, an application that offers us an extra layer of security
Soon is an application that we can download on both iOS and Android. But one of the most interesting features is the fact that the person to whom we send the message, doesn't need to have anything installed.
What this application does is send a link with our message, we can choose from Telegram to WhatsApp, passing through Hangouts, Line, Facebook Messenger, Slack... In short, any messaging app that we have installed on our device.
The operation is very simple, as soon as we enter the application we can take a photo to send it, a video, choose one from the reel or write a message. We can add a customization layer to the photos just like we do on Instagram That is, put emoticons, draw with your finger, etc.
The most interesting point is the fact of security In these messages we can choose if we allow the other person to take a screenshot or on the contrary that they cannot do so. We will do this by clicking on the padlock that appears in the shipment. We can activate it if we don't mind that they take a screenshot or block it to only allow its fleeting viewing.
As we said before, Soon! what it seeks is to increase our privacy. With which we will choose the temporary availability of our messages -something similar to what we can do on Instagram-, lasting between 5 and 10 seconds or 24 hours. We will have a history in our app profile of everything we have sent.
In short, an application that adds an extra security layer to our shipments and that will allow us to send more sensitive information by choosing the duration of it, and having absolute control over it. From sending messages that last only 5 seconds and those that cannot be captured, to those that last 24 hours and would allow them to take a screenshot.
