5 best free apps for sexting 2016

Snapchat may  be most  folks' ephemeral messaging app of choice, but it's by no means the only one, or even the best. 

We've taken a look at five Snapchat alternatives for both iPhone and Android that offer a different way to send disappearing messages and vanishing photos.  

Get your flirt on — safely — with these five disappearing-message services:

1. Kaboom

Kaboom promises to give you control over what you share online, where you share it, and how long it lives. 

As a service that doesn't require the recipient to also have the app, creating a Kaboom message generates an HTTPS-protected web address that will work through SMS, email, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc. 

You can select how long you'd like the message to stay online, e.g., 30 seconds, 10 minutes or 1 day, or how many times the message can be viewed before it self destructs. 

From privacy experts AnchorFree, the creators of Hotspot Shield, Kaboom is a clean, simple app that you can trust.

2. Confide

The Confide app helps you to "communicate digitally with the same level of privacy and security as the spoken word."

This confidential messenger service works with iMessage, texts, photos, documents and voice messages, boasting end-to-end encryption and disappearing messages. 

Confide's main selling point is screenshot protection with special technology meaning that screenshots are captured as grey blur on most platforms.

In addition, only a section of the message is revealed at a time, the sender's name is never visible from the message view and if a screenshot is attempted, the recipient is ejected from the message and the sender alerted.
