Were they trying to be ironic, by providing screenshots of the application? For which the messages should have disappeared? I guess there were no obvious identifying cues from the app. But a person could make them in the message sent back. So this suffers from the same problems as other "ephemeral" apps, the "screenshot", right?

Assumably faking a screenshot of text is much easier than of a picture. And the messages are being deleted as a specific needed feature to both of the users; you wouldn't message a journalist with it and not expect other humans to be able to find out about it.
