Before you start, ensure you've updated your iPhone. The other person you want to add to the secret conversation also needs to have an iPhone that's updated (it won't work with Android users).

Once everyone is set, do the following:

Once the other person opens the note, you can start instant messaging. Neither of you needs to hit the send button because the edits will be visible once you finish typing. You will get a notification that someone has made an edit. If you get confused about who wrote what, swipe right to check the name next to each edit.

When you're done chatting and don't want to leave a paper trail, you can stop sharing the note. This will remove it from the other person's device, and that person will no longer have access to it. Afterward, you can delete it on your end.

Follow the steps below:

This approach is ideal when you want to quickly coordinate plans, share sensitive details or just keep things low-key in public spaces. Messages sync instantly between you and your collaborator. There's no separate "send" button required, and you'll always know who added which note with color highlights and names.

If you ever need to make the conversation vanish, it's simple. Just stop sharing the note, and it disappears from your partner's device immediately. After that, deleting the note on your end wipes the slate clean, giving you full peace of mind. Everything happens inside your iPhone's built-in toolkit, making secret messaging fast and secure.
