Story

My Role

Defining user flow
Wireframing and prototyping
Visual Design
The Challenge
This is an opportunity to provide users to communicate freely & securely with friends / parents / clients etc. and to give the exposure of complete control over the content through an agile messaging app thus empowering them against misuse/judgement.
Empathizing with Users
To build some domain knowledge and listed out the basic problems the user might be facing related privacy issues in daily life conversation. Since the topic is more private, secret & emotional so we have to get down to the deepest understanding of what user actually react to this particular problem. During competitive analysis we have studied various applications and how they are solving this problem based on their target users to understand the possibilities and limitations.

Key Findings

Sometimes user were forced to share login details to other family members which effect their privacy.
People handover their phones to friends / siblings leads to misuse of privacy.
Notification pop up & peeking into phone is common problem for users in different environments when they loose their privacy.
Users cannot hide content in app itself, so they
have to use third-party apps.
