People love privacy, and almost all messaging apps and services develop ways to protect the privacy of their users’ conversations. We have the end to end encryption, secure messaging, and some other ways to protect our conversations from cyber attackers. But how about hiding our discussions from the people who are peeking at our phones at once? Well, Apple has given quite a simple but effective solution to this problem. It was called the \u2018invisible ink<\/strong>\u2019 effect. Today we will discuss what is invisible ink and how to use invisible ink on iOS<\/a><\/strong> 10.<\/p>\n

Apple is famous for introducing many cool features with each of its updates. We have seen lots of amazing updates over the past couple of years and these new feature updates are unique to the Apple ecosystem. Among these updates, Apple introduced some effects which can be applied to plain text messages which are exclusive to the iMessage app. These are called bubble effects. The bubble effects for messaging first came into play with iOS 10<\/a> in 2016. The primary aim of these effects is to change the way how the messages look on iPhone. Both users need to be apple users to get the effect of these messaging features.<\/p>\n

Actually bubble effects are quite fun. They can add many emotions to your text message visually than just typing the message or adding a couple of emoji. The message itself can deliver some expression when a user reads it. Invisible ink is only one effect that Apple offers you; there are many other effects you can try.<\/p>\n

As explained before the primary goal of the invisible ink effect is to hide the message from the people who are physically around you. There are many occasions where you take out your phone to read text messages where there are many known and unknown people around you. On these occasions, if someone peeks at your phone, the messages will be visible and they could read the messages. By using the invisible ink effect you can hide the content of the message. The message would be unreadable until you swipe on top of it and make it readable.<\/p>\n
