Tap into your inner James Bond with secret communication on your iPhone — without messages coming up in your regular text messages. All you have to do is create a note and share it with anyone you want to chat with.

• Open the Notes app.
• From the list of notes, swipe left on the one you want to share and tap on the person icon to add someone. You can also open a note, tap the three dots, then Share Note.
• Under Share Options, choose Can Make Changes.
• Send your note via text or email.

The Notes app is full of tricks. Did you know it has a built-in scanner feature? Tap or click for steps to scan a document with your phone.
