Wickr Me is a compact instant messenger program for Windows built around the idea of security. It integrates end-to-end encryption algorithms aimed to minimize the risk of having your messages intercepted by unauthorized users.
Exchange messages
The utility features a simplistic GUI that does not pose any navigation problems. This means you can get accustomed to it in a matter of minutes. It is possible to search for friends and add them to the list. In addition, you have the option to import contacts from Google, Yahoo, and Outlook.
When it comes to communication, you can send text and audio messages or opt for a webcam and talk via video call. There is also support for sharing files, however the list of compatible extensions is limited to namely PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, MP4, and PDF.
Robust protection
It is necessary to mention the auto-destruct feature that enables you to make messages inaccessible to unauthorized individuals at a later time. You can also work with a secure shredder to make deleted files completely unrecoverable.
Moreover, there is an auto-logout function, which periodically prompts you to type in a password. Similar to Troop Messenger, you have the ability to toggle desktop notifications and sounds for incoming messages as well as new contacts. Please note that Wickr Me is no longer supported by the developers.
