Now you can control the sent messages on the receiver's phone! isn't this interesting :D

The phone to whom we send the message downloads the Strings. And Strings can't stop the person on the receiving end from getting the text in the first place. The app is also only compatible with iOS.

Strings isn't the first app that aims to control smartphone screw-ups. Invisible Textlet enable senders to see whether or not the recipient has opened their text yet, and if they haven't, the sender can delete it. Ansa is the "Snapchat of texting," it means your texts self-destruct after a certain amount of time. And the application On Second Thought allows users to recall their texts 60 seconds after sending them and has a "curfew" feature, it means texts can be "embargoed" until the next morning in case you've had one too many.

But Strings CEO Edward Balassanian told The Huffington Post that Strings is the first messaging app that gives users total control over their content. "The challenge with ephemeral messaging apps is that they treat all content like it’s created equally, but we shouldn't have to delete everything in order to delete some things," he said. "Rather than trying to make content disappear, we sought to give users control so they would feel confident and comfortable to share what they want with who they want, in any way that they want."

"Friends can download content you share, but only if you approve," Balassanian continued. "Screenshots are detected and users are banned after violating this three times. And of course, you can delete a string you create if, and when, you choose to and it will be deleted everywhere. From start to finish, users control their conversations on Strings."

There are also apps out there that stop you from sending questionable texts in the first place. Designated Dialler blocks specified contacts in your phone
