    Yea, view-once features in apps are mostly an illusion that’s oversold.

    We have something close to some sort of an actual view once thing at work… it involves controlled access into secure rooms with no windows, lawyers, NDAs, security takes your phone and whatnot kinda deal.

    A self destructing message is better than nothing, but hardly a guarantee
