# Stealthy Messaging Apps StealthChat Provides Encrypted Calls and Messaging By Joey Haar | Published 2017-09-05 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stealthchat References: [stealthchat](http://stealthchat.com/?ref=producthunt#Features/2) With all the recent fears around privacy and internet security, StealthChat is an encryption app that keeps people's communications safe. The service provides a host of features, covering virtually all of users' online messages and phone calls. There are several different features built into StealthChat, including encrypted VOIP calls, encrypted group chats, self-destructing messages, and private picture sharing. The architecture of the service uses a new key for each and every message sent along the internet, meaning that it's extremely difficult if not impossible for a malicious party to gain access to the complete content of the conversation, even if they somehow managed to acquire a single message. It also includes anti-screenshot technology to ensure that the end receiver can't illicitly share information. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Encrypted Communications:** The trend for encrypted messaging and calling apps is creating opportunities for developers to create even more secure and untraceable communication services. - **Self-destructing Messages:** The growing popularity of self-destructing messages is encouraging businesses to incorporate this feature into their communication apps to better protect user privacy and security. - **Anti-screenshot Technology:** The emergence of anti-screenshot technology in messaging apps is paving the way for businesses to develop new security features that prevent screenshots and unauthorized sharing of sensitive information. ### Who This Affects Most - **Cybersecurity:** StealthChat and other encrypted messaging apps are disrupting the cybersecurity industry by offering a more secure and private way to communicate online, creating opportunities for innovators to create even more advanced security solutions. - **Communication and Collaboration Software:** The growth in popularity of encrypted messaging and self-destructing message features is creating disruptive innovation opportunities for developers of communication and collaboration software, as users demand more secure and private options for sharing information. - **Social Media:** The rise of encrypted messaging apps and anti-screenshot technology is influencing the development of social media platforms, creating opportunities for social media developers to integrate advanced security features into their services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Private Messaging Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yapsdotchat.md) - [Privacy-Focused Messenger Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chat-lock.md) - [Disappearing Chat Messages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/midnight-disappearing-chats.md) - [Encrypted Communication Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinds-security.md) - [Discreet File Security Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-photo-vault.md) - [Safe Stranger Chat Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whisperly-app.md) - [WhatsApp Privacy Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inapp-controls.md) - [Secure AI Chats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/privatemode-ai.md) - [Internet-Free Messaging Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bitchat.md)
