THE EFFECTS
The effects of these problems are massive. Just think about the headaches, troubles, embarrassments, humiliations, shame, ridicule, and even harassment this problem has caused and continues to cause billions of people daily, worldwide after they accidentally sent sensitive messages to unintended recipients.
In almost all instances, once a message is sent, the damage is done. Because such messages containing confidential medical documents, trade secrets, employment records, confidential materials, private photos, or intimate messages not meant for such recipients, usually, will have already been seen, screenshot, copied, downloaded, shared, printed, distributed, or saved before the sender even realizes it and tries to retrieve or delete the message. The sender could then later be blackmailed by the unintended recipient depending on the content of the message and attachment.

THE Solution
The Patent-Pending Solution Quite Simple:
For Chat/SMS:
When a user enters a text/SMS input box or field across all platforms and devices, a cursor is normally fixed there blinking.
We have included a disappearing default text that reads: “Verify recipient”. This default text blinks simultaneously with the blinking cursor at the same pace.
As it blinks, it is in essence reminding a user to verify the intended recipient. It stops blinking when a user initiates the cursor to begin typing or when a user tips a finger into the text input box or field.
As a safeguard, "An Accidental Messaging Prevention" default now exists with the option for users to disable it or keep it enabled in their settings. As the user types his or her message, the intended recipient’s name now begins to blink up where the intended recipient’s name is normally located. This is to capture the user’s attention to recognize the intended recipient.
But even if a user misses all these safeguards and failed to verify his or her recipient and presses the send button, the message is not immediately sends but produces a pop-up box with a simple question:
“Are you sure John Brown is the intended recipient?” “OK” is for send. “Cancel” is for correcting the intended recipient. This will only happen if a user keeps "Accidental Messaging Prevention" feature enabled in his or her settings. If left enabled and a user enters in a message box the pop-up will only prompt a single time as the user and a friend engages in a back and forth messaging. However, if a user leaves the message box or field and returns the pop-up will prompt or appear. This is that the pop-up or prompt does not become repetitive or redundant to users.
The video above, efficiently and effectively demostrates the solution our technology provides.
