Secret chat messages

Secret Messages are a unique Morningmate chat feature that automatically and permanently deletes messages from the server after a set amount of time. Not only text messages, but also emojis and attached files are removed, making this feature ideal for sharing sensitive information that should not leave a record.

Tip!

Secret Messages are available only for Business accounts. Free plan (external) users cannot send or receive Secret Messages. (Learn more about the Guest account policy.)

1. Send a Secret Message

Click the hourglass icon at the bottom of the chat window to enable Secret Messages.

You can choose an expiration time between 10 and 60 seconds.

Tip!

  • The countdown starts when each recipient reads the message.

    • For the sender, the countdown begins immediately after the message is sent, as it is considered read.

    • For each recipient, the countdown begins when they open the chat room containing the secret message.

  • If a Secret Message has not been read, it will still be automatically deleted at 12:00 AM (midnight) the following day.

2. Secret Message notifications

When you receive a Secret Message, the push notification will display "(Secret Message)" instead of the message content, helping keep the message confidential even in notifications.
