A new chatting app, called n-gage, has been launched for Android and iOS devices. The App claims to be a comprehensive Messaging app with more security features than any other chat app.
The app allows 1 to 1 or group video or phone chats with anyone regardless of whether they have n-gage. Participants who don’t have n-gage will need the right version of Chrome Browser on their device. For incompatible devices, an additional plugin is available to download. You can also send messages to others who are using other messaging apps like WhatsApp, Hike, Facebook, Email, SMS and more, even if they are not using n-gage.
With this app, you can set up a Private Area or a Private Gallery to store all your personal contacts, messages or images, or send Password protected messages with Safe.
It has a feature called ‘Safe’ that allows users to send password protected messages. Also there is a feature called ‘Blink’ in which the messages sent will self destruct at the receiver’s end after a specific time.
Its ‘Scramble’ feature allows users to control the way their messages are received at the receiver’s end by sending chats and images in an illegible or pixilated state, which can be uncovered in just 3 taps. Once read, these messages return their scrambled state.
It has ‘Extract’ feature for users who later regret sending certain messages or having conversations. Extract pulls back a message or an entire conversation from the receiver’s phone without leaving a trace. Users can also move multimedia files stored on their SD cards and phone memory into the n-gage ‘Private Gallery’ feature.
There is a ‘Stealth Mode’ as well that provides users with the option to appear invisible to certain n-gage contacts. Further features such as ‘Disable Screenshot’ and ‘Disable Copy/ Forward’ have been introduced to ensure users can protect their messages from being used by others.
Explaining the features of the app, Ajit Patel, chief executive officer and founder of n-gage, said, “When we talk about smartphones and the online world, privacy is the first thing that comes into everyone’s mind. Instant messaging apps are the biggest threat to a user’s privacy. As a result, we at n-gage have developed certain features, which allow users to control who reads their messages both from their and the receiver’s end. The app has been developed after an in-depth study to provide privacy features that compliment the need of a user.”
It is available for PC users as well.
