Tired of your friends stalking on your text messages? Need to hide messages from parents, family, even certain friends? This app is for you! With 'Secure Message and Text' you can encrypt any of your texts with a password! Then any nosy viewers will only be able to re-read your original message on their device by entering the same password! Ex: You will enter your message, "Hello World!" Then encrypt it with the password, "alks" (or whatever you so choose) ... Now you will send them the encrypted message, it will probably look something like this, "2oSe9sy90rmZAaTqTs6WEA==". Now when your recipient receives the encrypted message they will simply copy paste it into the decryption tab and enter the password "alks" (again, this password will vary depending on what you decide to set it as). If properly entered, the original message will be displayed, "Hello World!" Main features: - Encrypt your text message with your password. Encrypted text will be copied to clipboard automatically. - Send your encrypted text via SMS, Email, Facebook, Twitter... - Decrypt your encrypted text to view original text. **Optimized for iPhone 6(s), iPhone 6(s) Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X to iPhone 14 Pro Max and all iPad devices
