Wickr Me
Wickr Me is a secure instant messaging application focused on privacy and end-to-end encryption. It allows users to send encrypted messages, voice memos, and files to friends and contacts both one-on-one and in groups. The app is known for its self-destructing message feature, where communications automatically delete after a set time period. Wickr Me is designed for users who prioritize privacy and secure communication, and is now owned and maintained by Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionWickr Me does not currently have a native Apple Silicon version. According to available testing data, the app has not yet been verified to work on Apple Silicon Macs and remains Intel-only. However, since Wickr is actively maintained by AWS (acquired in 2021), there is a reasonable possibility that a native version may be released in the future. For now, the app will continue to run via Rosetta 2 emulation on Apple Silicon machines. We recommend: (1) checking the official Wickr download page (https://me-download.wickr.com/) periodically for updates, and (2) contacting AWS Wickr support to inquire about Apple Silicon native support timelines. If you need an alternative secure messaging app that is already optimized for Apple Silicon, consider Signal or Telegram, both of which offer comparable encryption and privacy features with native macOS support.
