If you need to hide the messages or message notifications on your iPhone or iPad so that they do not see them "others", here we are with a step -by -step guide that we have titled "how to hide messages on your iPhone (so they don't get caught doing thingsthat you should not) ".

With this guide you can hide the message notifications so that they never appear on the lock screen, where someone could see them;hide a conversation in a folder where no one would think of looking;o Change to a new messaging application with automatic erase of texts and PPP password protection.

How to hide message notifications on iPhone

Abre Ajustes > Notificaciones y desplázate hasta la aplicación de mensajería que quieras modificar. Abre los ajustes de notificación individuales y encontrarás varias:

1. Permitir notificaciones: si desactivas esta opción, nunca verás las alertas de esta aplicación. Esto significa que tendrás que mirar activamente dentro de la app para ver si has recibido un mensaje, pero te evitas que alguien vea algo por accidente.
2. Alertas: puedes dejar las notificaciones activadas pero desactivar la opción de la pantalla de bloqueo, a la vista de todos. Así sólo verás la alerta de mensaje en el Centro de Notificaciones.
3. Mostrar vistas previas: si dejas activadas las notificaciones de la pantalla de bloqueo, puedes asegurarte de que solo tú puedas verlas tras desbloquear el teléfono con Face ID, o de que nunca se puedan desbloquear. No te lo recomendamos porque esto también levanta sospechas.
4. Sonidos: desactiva el tono de alerta y la vibración para que tu teléfono no te delate cuando recibas un mensaje a la 1am.

In Apple messages you can deactivate alerts about a specific conversation:

How to hide conversations in Apple's messages

Although you hide the alerts for specific contact, the conversation will remain visible in the app if another person unlocks your phone.Especially if you have sent text messages recently, because it will appear above all.

Logically, the easiest way to hide a conversation is to erase it.Press the conversation into messages for a second or slide your finger from right to left so that the paper icon appears.Then press the red icon of the paper to erase it.

If you want to risk keeping your messages before erasing them [bad idea, never keep them - Ed.] You can make a backup of your iPhone on your computer and then use the Decipher TextMessage application for Mac or Windows.This application reads the backup of your iPhone/iPad and exports your conversation in PDF format, in flat text version or in version with photos and video [very, very bad idea - Ed.]

Si no quieres borrar la conversación y quieras seguir enviando mensajes de texto a esta persona, esta es la mejor opción: primero, elimina su contacto de tu agenda. A continuación, abre Ajustes > Mensajes y desplázate hasta Filtrado de mensajes. Allí, puedes activar la opción Filtrar remitentes desconocidos.

Thus, the messages will be hidden in a separate folder and blocks any notification, such as the spam folder of your email.Being only visible in that spam folder, you can camouflage the conversation unless the person is obsessed with your conversations and look inside [alternately, you can avoid all these problems avoiding the person - ed.]

Look for a messaging app with more privacy than Apple messages

Apple's messages was designed for accessibility and comfort, not for privacy.Perhaps you should consider changing a new application focused on privacy.

Here are two clear options: Signal and Telegram.Both not only offer end -to -end encryption so that your messages cannot be intercepted but also allow you to protect the application with an additional password.Thus, although someone who has access to your phone's password, will not be able to access your private messages.

Another interesting privacy function is automatic deletion for specific conversations.Telegram, for example, allows you to establish a 24 -hour or 7 days timer.Any older message will be deleted automatically.

Both Telegram and Signal also allow you to send messages that are automatically deleted from the receptor side, in case you worry about privacy on the other person's phone, which can be as problematic and dangerous as your own.Telegram even allows you to erase all the messages you have sent to another person both on your phone and in yours, so that there is no evidence anywhere.

Without a doubt, Telegram is the best option if you want to keep your secrets below.
