A new iPhone application that could prove a hit with adulterers enables people to delete incriminating text messages
The TigerText app allows iPhone users to permanently delete text messages
The TigerText app circumvents the existing text messaging application on the Apple iPhone, enabling the message sender to have complete control over the lifespan of texts. Messages can be permanently deleted from the sender's phone, the recipient's phone and the server.
The sender can specify how long they want their message to survive after it has been received and read. They can choose to delete the message 60 seconds after the recipient opens it, or allow it to live on for up to 30 days. A series of tiger pawprints are left in place of the deleted message in a conversation thread.
“Instead of loose lips, we use the term loose thumbs,” said Jeffrey Evans, founder of TigerText. “Everyone has loose thumbs at some point. ‘I hate my boss’ — you can say that, and we’ve all said that. But if you text it and your employer finds it, your career is over.
"You have to realise that someone might make hiring decisions based on anything you send, email or text."
Both the message sender and the recipient will need to have TigerText installed in order to use the messaging service. The app is currently only available in the United States, where it is free to try for 15 days, or 100 texts, whichever is reached first. Thereafter, users will pay $2.49 per month for unlimited text messages.
