Wisper CEO Htet Tayza to Set a New Benchmark in Ephemeral Apps

Wisper, an app that allows users to share moments in a more interactive way through ephemeral messaging and timeline posts, officially released its free app on the Apple App store on April 28, 2015. The Android version is currently under development and will be available in two months.

Wisper was envisioned in recognition of how a preference for ephemeral content has grown and how sharing glimpses into our day-to-day lives has become an embedded part of our communication. With Wisper, moments from the most ordinary to ones that happen once in a lifetime are captured and shared in a renewed way, made more playful, lighthearted, and user­friendly.

Wisper enables users to send messages made quirky with stickers, audio notes, and also photos and videos that can be enhanced by your personalized text and sketches –all of which vanish 25 seconds after they have been read or viewed by the recipient. Users can also post on Wisper's very own 'Lyfe', where they can share glimpses of their daily lives – Lyfe's content disappears after 24 hours.

Wisper believes in cherishing moments – as the startup's motto goes "the best things in life don't last forever". Through Lyfe, glimpses of the here and now are shared and viewable to all personal Wisper contacts. All Lyfe's content is most recent and embraces the very present – capturing the sentiment of priceless moments throughout the day.
