Linking your phone number to your account can make it easier for people to find you. If you want to, you can add some information to your profile later, like an avatar image or a phone number. You don't have to use any identifying information to create an account, not even an email address. When you open the app for the first time, you'll be greeted by a welcome page, where you can quick-create an account. For both timers, you can choose from preset durations or customize the duration. With the Burn-On-Read Timer, the message will disappear after a set duration once it's read. With the Expiration Timer, the message will be gone a certain duration after being sent.

There are also options to have DM messages expire everywhere: Expiration Timer and Burn-On-Read Timer. If you delete your own message, it'll be removed universally if you delete someone else's message, it'll only be removed from your app. You can toggle this feature off in Settings. This gives you an extra layer of privacy, which can be useful if someone walks into your office and you don't want them to see what was just sent, for example. When you receive a message, whether it's a DM or in a Room, you have to click to unlock it (this is the default setting). When you add Wickr to a new device, your conversation history won't sync and appear on that device future conversations will appear there, though. You need to unlock all of the messages sent to you as an added privacy measure (Image credit: Wickr) Privacy
