Section titled “Concept”AWS Wickr is an end-to-end encrypted messaging and calling app, with controls for organizations. End-to-end encrypted means a message can be opened only on the sender’s and receiver’s devices, and no one can read it on the way. With it you can chat, make voice and video calls, and share files. Admins use the AWS console to set up users, security rules and how long messages are kept. To meet compliance needs, there is also a way to keep copies of messages (data retention).
