People are using shared Apple Notes as a secret chat app
Original: The "secret chat" trick going around: two people share an Apple Note and type to each other in it instead of texting. It
iPhone users are sharing a trick in which two people open the same Apple Note and type messages back and forth instead of texting, since edits update live on both devices. But the method is far from private: opening the note and swiping reveals exactly who wrote each part and when, and collaborators can be viewed or removed at any time. Privacy-minded users are now warning others not to assume the trick hides anything.
Why now: The trick is spreading as a novelty workaround, and privacy warnings about how traceable it actually is are riding the same wave of attention.
