Self destructing messages can be sent through messaging apps like iMessage and Snapchat. But now only few applicatons that can do the same, In some messaging apps this is not yet feautured like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Hangouts and emails. Recently a feature as an add-on to one of the most chatted platform  introduced to send self destructable messages in Whatsapp.

This would be a extended feature that we need to download externally from Google play store for Andriod users, Even it is also available for Iphone users with iOS(8.1). And it is not only for Whatsapp even for Facebook, Twitter, Google Hangouts and practically every sharing platform out there.

Welcome Kaboom, on the other hand, is a free app that only requires those who want to send self-destructing messages to download the app. Once downloaded, you can send text and picture messages, complete with a countdown timer that dictates when the message will disappear forever. Not sure how long you want a message to remain active? You can also set a message to expire after a number of views.

Kaboom, an app created by AnchorFree, composes self-destructing messages containing text and/or pictures to be shared on a variety of other platforms. Once you run the application, you to need to type a text message and add in a photo or click a selfie, apply the self destruction limited time and then share it with whom you want to share.The interesting part is that the user at the other end does not need to install the same application.

The message is carried as a simple info with a link, stating ‘Check out this link from Kaboom: https://share.kaboomit.com/xxxx’. The user across would not know how this message ended up from you and would think it could be a malware or a marketing spam.

The makers of the app, should take note that the message forwarded should carry the name of the sender, along with a short description about the self-destruction. So make sure you are not sending any sensitive information or any such photographs which could put your privacy at risk.
