Privacy messenger app Confide, used by some in White House, gets slapped with lawsuit that says it's not as secure as it claims

A new lawsuit claims that Confide, a privacy-focused messaging app reportedly used by several politicians including those in the Trump administration in February, may not be as secure as it has advertised. Filings from a proposed class-action lawsuit in New York say that Confide's contention that it does not allow its users to take screenshots of their messages isn't true. It specifically accuses Confide of breaching false advertising and deceptive business practices laws. The inability to keep a record of Confide messages is one of the product's most-touted features. If someone tries to take a picture of a conversation, Confide is supposed to kick out the person who took the screenshot and alert the other person in the conversation. It's also supposed to only let users see messages one line at a time, to prevent an entire message from ever being recorded, making it ideal for confidential messaging.
