Off-the-record messaging

Off-the-record messaging (often abbreviated as OTR) is a way of sending messages over the internet that you want to keep private. It is like a secret conversation only the two people involved can see. When you use OTR, your messages will not be visible to anyone else, and your conversations cannot be read by a third party. Because of this, it can be a great way to talk to someone without worrying about anyone else seeing what you are saying.
