Delete Your Conversations From Other People's Phones

Have you ever sent a text message that you regretted? Wouldn't it be awesome if there was an app you could download that actually lets you delete your regrettable message after you sent it? Now, there is. Apple and Android users can download Wiper Messenger to send free and worry-free messages to friends and family. Send something embarrassing you want to pull back? What about an angry text that you'll regret later? No problem.

This app makes regrettable texts a thing of the past as long as the person you're having a conversation with has the app, too. If you want to take back something you sent earlier, you simply select the message from your conversation and tap "wipe" to make it disappear. It also lets you know when your text has been read and if the person on the other end took a screen shot of the conversation. Want to send a temporary photo or video that will disappear later? This app lets you send self-destructing messages to friends.
