Message revocation

Zivver messages can be revoked after sending, either for every participant (including the sender) or just for recipients. Message revocation can be scheduled to occur after a set period, or immediately. Access revocation is designed to fulfill two major functions: - You can withdraw a message that was sent in error. - You can comply to rule where laws or organizational policy require that copies of messages are not kept indefinitely.
