I was discussing this with a friend. I think I'd like it better if it only allowed you to record an audio note that is erased as it is played.

The current message is a little too easy to capture with copy/paste and thus makes it easier for people to leave the info sitting around on their clipboard, screenshots, etc.

A good old audio self-destruct message would be very neat.

Yes, that would be a cool feature.

It would suck though if you accidentally had your sound muted :-P

True. And a self-erasing audio file wouldn't prevent somebody from capturing it as it is played the one time, either. So, it's not really guaranteeing a disappearing message as much as just adding an obstacle to copying/retention.

Yeah, clearly they can record it-- it just wouldn't be nearly as convenient to capture it.
