Do you have friends who sneak into your Messages app to read your conversations when they get hold of your phone? If so, you should check out HiddenConvos, a new jailbreak tweak that keeps your conversations in the Messages app more secure.
The tweak lets users hide a specific conversation in the Messages app with just a simple swipe and tap gesture. Once you’re in the Messages app, you can swipe a particular conversation to the left to view more options. Normally, when you do this, you’ll view a Delete button only. However, with HiddenConvos installed, a new Hide button will also appear allowing you to hide the specific conversation.
Other than this, the tweak doesn’t offer any additional features which you can take advantage of.
To unhide all the conversations, you just have to tap on the Edit button in the top right corner of the Navigation bar and press Unhide All. Doing so displays all the conversations that were hidden. The interesting part of the tweak is that it silences all notifications coming from conversations that have been hidden in the Messages app until you unhide them all.
After installing HiddenConvos, there are no settings to configure. Simply head to the Messages app and start hiding conversations that you don’t want others to see.
To chat with the person whose conversation is hidden, you can start a new conversation with them. This will take you to the same conversation that is already present while making sure that it remains hidden in the Messages app.
HiddenConvos is a great way of keeping your conversations more secure from prying eyes. It works flawlessly as advertised without crashing or creating issues for the Messages app.
If you’re in to give this tweak a try, HiddenConvos can be downloaded for free via Cydia’s BigBoss repo. Make sure to let us know what you think about the tweak once you’ve given it a try.
