Wiper https://gowiper.com/ is trying a novel approach to keep your information safe online: to let you decide when it’s time to delete your own data.

Users can share text messages, HD voice calls and YouTube videos with that peace of mind. Hit the delete button on this app, and the company says your information disappears not only from your device, but also from your conversation partner’s device and the company’s servers.

Wiper has also taken measures to minimize the chance that conversations you thought were gone will resurface. For example, it’s disabled the screen shot function, in-app, on Android devices. That’s not possible for Apple users, for technical reasons, but Wiper sends an alert if someone tries to save a screen.
