Sexting is a famous term that combines sex and texting together which involves sharing of nude images and not safe for work messages in between consenting adult individuals especially in between those who are in a long distance relationship.
Even though sexting can spice a lot of thing in a relationship over the phone however what isn’t pretty is when you receive a text in front of your boss or family or if it somehow ends up online over the internet. Hence it is prudent that you restrict sexting to your personal life by using apps that take care of your confidentiality and privacy in fact even prevents screenshots.
You must know that even the encrypted texts are vulnerable to screenshots once they have ended up on someone’s phone hence always keep your device locked with a face recognition password if available or a difficult pass code or fingerprint lock so that your personal information is kept safe.
One perk of encrypted messages is that the messaging service will not be able to open your chat history and hence will not be able to disclose any kind of information to advertising companies, law enforcement agencies or any other entity. This article intends to discuss in detail the Top Three Best Sexting Apps that you can use to keep your private life safe from prying eyes and other intruders.
