As of now, there are hundreds of instant messaging apps available for Android smartphones. However, out of all, only a few managed to stand out from the crowd. Apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, etc., not only allow you to exchange text messages, they also offer features such as video calls, voice calls, file sharing, etc.
Almost every instant messaging app now has a ‘Disappearing Message’ feature. For those who don’t know, Disappearing Message is a feature that keeps your message history tidy. Once enabled, it automatically removes the messages from the devices after the timer has elapsed.
