IF you want to have a hidden conversation with someone on an iPhone, all you need to do is open the Notes app.
The Notes app can do so much more than just create household lists, savvy users have revealed.

By using the “Share Note” feature, you can essentially have private conservations with others.
The “Share Note” feature on the notes app allows multiple people to edit a single note in real-time.
Just type something into the app and wait for a response from others who you have shared the note with.
To share a note, simply click the three dots at the top right of the note and then click “Share Note.”
You can send this invitation via iMessage, email, Snapchat, and other social media apps.
Make sure to click “Share Options” and give your receivers permission to make changes to the note.
A receiver then has to open the note link and accept the invitation. Once they accept they will be redirected to the collaborative note you created in the Notes app.
Each person’s text in the note will have a corresponding highlighted color so you can keep track of who’s typing.
You will also be able to see who’s typing by swiping right from the middle of the note. A timestamp will also appear for you to see when the message was written.

If you really want to hide these texts, you can delete each line of text once you get a response.
If you share a note via iMessages, the note will still appear in your messages, so you might want to opt for a more discrete form of communication to send your invitation to, like Snapchat.
With Snapchat, your messages can instantly be deleted after the person receives them.
This is easier than manually deleting a text message from iMessage because each person would have to manually delete the message on their end for it to totally disappear.
Once your conversation has ended, the creator of the note can click the icon to the left of the three dots on the top right of the screen and then click the “Stop Sharing” option.
This will remove participants from the note and delete the note from all of their devices.
