The Notes app on the iPhone holds some of our most valuable thoughts — but it might be holding something more sinister, too.
According to some social media sleuths, the Notes app is now being used for people to do the dirty on their partners.
“So apparently the new way people are cheating is on the iPhone Notes app,” TikTok user @bellastalktime said in a video posted Thursday, which has already garnered 237,800 views.
The content creator claimed that users can invite iPhone owners to collaborate on a shared note, allowing them to see text and images that can can quickly be deleted.
“People are getting away with sending photos and all sorts of things,” she said. “This is crazy.”
Some sly viewers admitted that they knew the Notes app had long been used by duplicious cheaters.
“I fear this has been a thing for a while. Along with the ‘calculator’ photo vault,” one user wrote, referring to an app that looks like a calculator and has the name “Calculator,” but is a place to store photos under lock.
“Yes. One of my best friends. His Notes app was open on his laptop and that’s how she [his girlfriend] found out,” one person shared.
“Yes I’ve done it and you can lock Notes with a custom password so even if someone gets your phone they can’t unlock the note,” another admitted.
However, other shaken viewers said they had no clue that the seemingly innocuous Notes app could be used for such shady actions.
“Me and my husband use that feature for our grocery list,” one naive Notes user said.
“If any man asks me to work on the Notes app with him, he’s getting blocked,” one declared.
“I can’t imagine messaging anyone through the Notes app,” another chimed in.
“I’m too lazy to be this creative,” a third bluntly stated.
