Secret-Agent App: Make Your Messages Self-Destruct

By

If, like me, you walk around all day executing random karate hand-chops to the theme of Mission: Impossible running through your head, then you might consider adding this next app to your quiver.

Just like the messages sent to IMF (Impossible Mission Force, for all you non-spies),  Self-Destructing Message will erase evidence of clandestine texts, on both the sender’s phone, and the recipient’s — just so long as you both have a copy of the app. It also has a “black book” feature that hides the actual identities of your contacts.

Of course, the app’ll probably be used for more, shall we say, amorous pursuits than anything else; and maybe the developers agree, judging by a telling little statement at the bottom of the app’s App Store page:

“By purchasing this app, you have agreed that MEDL Mobile is not responsible for any feelings, actions, activities or conversations conducted through, and/or in part from this app. If you are caught, that’s your fault. Not ours. Good luck.”

Normally $3, it’s free now for an unspecified amount of time.
