Quick tip of the day

Regardless of why you want to keep your text messages secret, this is a handy trick that you may not know. Perhaps you use your phone for work and don’t want personal messages popping up while you're with clients. Keep your private messages private by using iPhone’s secret feature.

Here’s how:

  • Open the Notes App.
  • Type in a subject for your note.
  • In the top right-hand corner of the app, tap on the person icon to add someone to the note.
  • Tap the three dots at the top of the note.
  • Select Share Note.
  • Under Share Options, choose Can Make Changes.
  • Choose how to send your note.

Now that a person has been added to your note and allowed to make changes, you can communicate privately. And it won’t show up in your text messages.
