You can now use Frost.m to avoid that scenario! Texts within Frost.m are never displayed on notification alerts. Frost.m is like a timed envelope for your text messages. You can also use Frost.m to play memory games. Send them a list of words and see which ones they remember! **Don't forget to click on the 'Up' arrow in iMessage to actually send the Frost.m message.
