Messaging app imo has introduced a new ‘SecretChat’ feature with end-to-end encryption, safeguarding users’ data.
A press release issued by the company on Monday said that the new feature comes with facilities such as message self-destructing after the session and dissemination control, which means the entire conversation will be wiped out instantly after exiting the chat session, thus ensuring no trace of the conversation.
The ‘SecretChat’ can be availed in the attachment bar of the chat interface with a specific contact.
The most important aspect of this new feature is the dissemination control functions. This feature allows no one to copy, forward, share, download, or record any private conversations.
This feature will enable imo users to communicate with greater confidence and security when sharing their private matters, said the media release.
The company claims that around 150 million free calls, videos, and pictures are exchanged using imo every day in Bangladesh. Apart from that, 96 billion messages and 26 billion audio and video calls were made by Bangladeshi imo users in 2020, the media release added.
