How to hide and send secret messages in a photo

If you have ever wanted to have private conversations with someone or simply save private messages on your phone that no one else could discover, we want to talk to you about an interesting application that was created to fulfill precisely this objective.

The application, called Steganography, is available for free in the Google Play Store and will allow you to hide a text message within a photo, or a photo within another photo.

Secret messages using Steganography

1. To start, you will have to open the application and press the button in the center, where it says " Tap here to load an image ". Then you must choose any photo.

2. After you have chosen the desired photo, you must enter a password, so that no one else can discover the hidden text in the photo.

3. With the photo already loaded, write the desired text and click Encode, and the photo will be automatically saved to your phone.

4. After having saved the photo, you can send it to anyone, who can read the hidden message only with the help of this application (you must select the photo and click the Decode button). If the photo has a password, you must also give the other person the password for the photo.

Although this application is very useful, it will probably become obsolete when Facebook implements its own private conversation system within Messenger. The company is already testing this feature that will allow users to hide conversations that would otherwise appear visible in the list of latest chats.

If you want to have an application capable of providing greater security to your conversations now, you should try Confide, an app for Android and iOS that self-destructs the messages sent after they are read by the receiver. Regardless of whether you send texts or images, this application will erase any trace of them once they are viewed by the recipients.

The best thing about Confide is that it also gives you the possibility to cancel sending an unread message and offers comprehensive encryption of all conversations.
