## Description

Are your privates safe?

Privates is a next-generation secure messaging app that protects your private messages end-to-end - even after they’ve been read! Industrial-strength encryption keeps hackers out, while patent-pending screenshot protection keeps recipients from making and sharing unauthorized copies.

## Review summary

User reviews praise Privates! for its privacy features and recall/reaction tools, but usability issues persist: frequent login crashes and a gap between advertised capabilities (delete/recall) and what actually works, plus reliance on recipients using the app and friction when adding contacts.

### Pros

- Strong privacy and security features (biometrics access, privacy-focused design, and protection against screenshots).
- Recall/unsend feature is a standout and repeatedly praised.
- Reactions and other interactive elements create a more natural-feeling conversation.
- Appealing concept with potential; many users find it innovative and easy to use after updates.
- Overall performance often improves after updates and is viewed as reliable by some users.

### Cons

- Login/signup crashes or failures preventing access to the app.
- Does not reliably support deleting or unsending messages; capabilities often described as misleading or not as advertised.
- Recall/delete actions require the recipient to also use the app, limiting usefulness and practicality.
