Wickr was an American software company based in New York City that was acquired by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in mid-2021. It was known for its instant messaging applications of the same name. The Wickr messaging service allowed an organization's users (and, optionally, external guests) to exchange end-to-end encrypted and content-expiring messages.
