The fittingly named TigerText allows users to set a time limit on how long a text remains on a recipient’s phone after it’s read. Once the message’s lifespan ends, the app’s developers say there’s no trace of it on any phones or servers.
When, for example, a cheating spouse sends his mistress an iPhone message via TigerText, the mistress will be prompted to install the app. The mistress is able to read messages but not keep them, the app’s developers say, because messages are stored on TigerText’s servers and are never actually sent to phones.
too bad he didn’t have it.
