Disappearing messages
The Disappearing messages extension allows end-users to send messages that disappear after a certain interval of time. This extension works for both private (one-on-one) and group messages. Also known as “exploding messages” or “ephemeral messages” on other platforms. When to use:- Privacy-sensitive industries (healthcare, legal, finance)
- Compliance requirements for data retention
- Confidential business discussions
- Any scenario where message permanence is a concern
