In this day and age, texting someone while drunk is something we can't help but do.

No matter how much we're set against it while sober; three glasses of vino later we're either texting our BFF our deepest darkest secrets, sharing our love to the boy next door or awkwardly texting our mam to tell her how much we appreciate and love her. Something we all regret in the morning, yes?

Well now a new app has been created to stop the FEAR from seeping into us after a night out.

Protect Your Privates can recall messages, so even if you send it, the text can be deleted and you have to option for unread texts to vanish after 3, 12, or 24 hours. 

It also has a special security system which means that if you do send a weird (but wonderful) text, only the intended recipient can read it.

Its website says: “All messages are encrypted end-to-end. Only the recipient can read them. Screenshot prevention mechanisms prevent recipients from forwarding, copying or saving your messages.

"Users can feel safe knowing Privates keeps your data not just encrypted away from the reach of hackers but also protects against screenshots. Features such as sending natural reactions, drawing and writing on photos makes Privates multifunctional and fun!"

Check out the video above to see how it works. We can see this app saving a lot of fear in the future!
