This video shows you how to use the iPhone's built in iMessage to send an invisible ink message to another iPhone user using a hidden function of the built-in iMessage. I discovered how to do it by accident.
- Open iMessage
- Type your message
- Press down HARD on the send button
- A menu will pop up with five special effects options, "Screen", "Slam", "Loud", "Gentle", and "Invisible Ink"
Select the dot next to "invisible ink", and click "Send"
And that's not all. The new menu leads you to loads of new features. See some examples below:
▶️ DTube
▶️ IPFS
the iphone is the best phone on the planet and this funsion of iphone is interesting.
I only have one problem, unfortunately, because of my lifestyle, I would need an indestructible phone that can withstand blows, that is against water and that the glass is really gorilla glass. There are many discussions about the capacity to resist water or just splash water, according to the series 6 onwards can resist water. but here in my country, unfortunate it would be a problem to have such an expensive telephone.
I would go for a cheaper phone, among the options are:
Kyocera DuraForce Pro E6820
Caterpillar Cat S40
Ruggear RugGear RG710
It is so sad that it would be dangerous to carry an iPhone in Venezuela. Here nearly everyone has a smartphone. I pray for things to improve. The photo below is from the train a few days ago.
Can you spot the guy with no phone?
it's amazing, technology connects us and at the same time separates us, everyone has a telephone in their hands, but they ignore the person they have next to them.
I recently saw a video that made me reflect. I've been absent from steemit by spending time on things that are important. (My family) Here I will share the video with you.
That’s a really funny video, that I enjoyed very much!
You're right to spend more time on your family than steemit. I need to do that too - see below.
I have been very tired after two serious illnesses late last year. I am still being treated. I wondered if I was spending too much time in the night on Steemit. I should stop replying to comments in the night? You can see how I feel by looking at this blog:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@whatsup/don-t-sign-up-for-steemit-my-riches-to-rags-story
the publication is very good, I shared it in my blog, fortunately almost nothing of that tragedy happened. but it is a story that makes anyone reflect.
I'm sorry I can not help you from here with your illness. Here are herbs that cure many diseases. Our aborigines were experts in the use of herbs. My father also has books to cure many diseases naturally.
I'll tell karlin to pray with me, for his health. It is necessary that you are well, you must take care of yourself, the baby is the most important person and really needs you, more than any of us.
Very funny...looks like the future
Been a while @swissclive. Hope you've been alright? I wish i use iPhone. This info would have come in handy.
Thanks @olawalium. I've been a little ill so was not posting very much. I am still very tired.
I just found this amazing iPhone feature by accident, and couldn't wait to share it with everyone.
Get well soon.!
Wow! So sorry about that. I really wish there is something i can do to make you feel better and stronger. Maybe i should sing for you haha. So sorry. You will be fine. How long have you been ill? Taken meds and feeding more on fruits i hope?
Wow...your selfless heart couldn't help but to share the info even though you are tired. You always impress me @swissclive.
Sing him back to sleep so he can get some rest! Health>steemit!
I will, at her request @charitybot. 😊
@swissclive please be strong for us.
My friend @olawalium actually told me about the educative and helpful informations you share on your blog. Please keep it up, you are amazing.
Sorry to hear about your illness. Get well soon.
Hugs.
Sorry dear, please be strong, we love you. Personally I missed you here
💞
Sorry to hear that you were ill and still tired. You should take rest for some time more so that you may physically fit to work more. Though this is very good approach to share useful information with others in this condition. It shows your generosity to the world.Love it :)
Get well soon ma'am. It is well with you
Stay safe...wishing you a miracle from God.
This is an awesome feature of iphone and very well demonstrated by you.
And personally I love adjusting bubble style.
There are so many features, iphone users are unaware of and this is also one of them and thank you for demonstrating this one.
God Bless you and Keep steemiting.
Yh...so stunning...i like it.
Oh... Wonderful! ...is your screen broken? :(
Well... Unfortunately i don't use an iPhone
Thanks anyways @swissclive :)
Let me repay the favor by sharing a trick with you!
Hope you like it!
You may have to try this on your laptop
Goto www.google.com
Type "zerg rush" (without the quotes) and hit the search button.
I just typed "zerg rush" into google and the pesky little monsters ate all the words. I found that you can stop them if click on them before the words are eaten, but you have to be fast with the mouse, and they are pretty relentless, coming at you from all sides with no warning.
Countering zerg rushes requires high apm, you need to make sure to research stim packs before sending your marines out into open terrain. Maybe you need to build more barracks if they decided to 7 pool you.
loL! Really!!?.. i didn't even know about this... i just do it for fun all the time.
... i'll give it a try :))
Hehe I couldn't figure it out...you win
Hello friend, it is now that I can read your publication I've been quite busy, to part of it, my computer is very slow, and I've been looking these days several options of some laptop models used to be able to buy, since new get an eye of the face here in m i country, and not to mention an iphone, that here is landscape.
That good that can have those phones, ami would love to have one, but I'll stay with the desire, hahaha, we've been looking for some cheaper models but that meet expectations.
I read also that has been a bit ill health, I imagined, we always pray for you that Dios take care of him and him of many more years of life and health. The truth is that steemit is like a drug, the more desire to want to win and be published, but I left me a little of that, we are organizing ourselves more in the House, and doing errands, must maintain a balance.
I hope that this translation is understood, since it is me difficult to work with the small laptop that I have for the slow which is, I think this week I'll have a better.
God take care of him greetings to family, hugs and kisses for the little baby.
Oh, I understand you well. As it is - to work on a small netbook, I myself have been working on this for a long time.
Thanks very much @swissclive, this iPhone feature is really amazing, I didn't know about it before.
I had noticed that your activity on Steemit has become less than before, so I guessed you've been a little ill. It is a pity that I can not help you!
I hope you will be healthy soon. I know how to get sick. Now I have a toothache
although I has already visited the dentist, so I am not posting very much, too.
This iPhone feature is very much helpful and your description is detailed and understandable, so I Upvoted 100% and REsteemed this your post for me and my friends!
Maybe you can find a toothache cure on your iPhone LOL.
Thanks for this your joke, I love it :)
My tooth hurts less, I hope you feel better, too..
I'm helped by the books of physician Michael Greger about preventing and reversing many diseases.. Have you read his books? I'm sure they'll help you.
Thanks boss @swissclive for this great teaching, God bless you for being a great motivator on this Platform, I am proud of you
hello @swissclive
Wow! Thanks for this. I really never knew that there's a feature like this...iPhone are One of the most complicated gadget ever produced..i will get one soon.plz get better
. Wish u great health. Thanks so much..
nd tnx for sharing
#cheers
@vickyrich
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. What country do you come from?
I am really glad you found my iPhone tip to be useful. Even though you don't own one! LOL.
I was disappointed that you didn’t up-vote my blog though. If you like a blog, it’s generally customary to upvote it. Perhaps this was just a little oversight on your side. Don’t worry – I’m not after votes or anything. I really appreciated your comment.
Am from nigeria @swissclive..
i am not really here for your upvotes mah...i was reading recent feeds nd darts wen i saw yours...i forgot to give u an upvote but just did...i will follow ur post frequently as of now cos u share inspirational post that are useful to steemit...
More knowledge to ur instincts mah...really appreciate
Don’t worry about not voting. Thanks for explaining. You are not obliged to vote when you comment.
I appreciate your honesty. It’s much better than going into denial as you will see from the behavior of another commentor above. Have a look at what he wrote and my pictures showing his actions. He is a liar.
Maybe you could give him guidance?
I have given you a vote now.
Hello @swissclive How is your health?
I'm sick too, so I do not give much time to Stimit. I have an iPhone 6 (I'm not that rich to afford a newer model) and for me it was the discovery of the hidden function that you described :) I'm sure that very few people know about it :)
Another thing is that the iPhone is a privileged phone in many countries. Many of whom I know buy it only for the sake of what would raise the social status in the eyes of their group. I do not think this is right, since the smartphone should perform certain functions and be useful. But it should not be the subject of an attribute.
The iPhone has a whole cult of admirers. I live in a poor country, and when I saw huge queues on the Internet during sales (the premiere on the day the phone was released), I was shocked.
Ideas are being imposed on people and people are ready to strive for them. But the main ideal is your family. The phone will keep you warm on a cold day and will not take care of you when you are sick. Therefore, we should appreciate the live communication and our family.
Thank you for such an interesting article.
Well @dannygreen, I had two serious illnesses last year and since then I feel very tired if I work for more than 12 or 14 hours a day. (Today was just 12 hours work). I think I have to ask for part-time - maybe work 4 days for 15 hours each. My doctor says that even 60 hours a week would be too much, so I could always retire but then who would do the work?
At least that way I could meet my family more.
It came home to me when my oldest son spoke his first words to me. He said “who are you?”.
You’d think he would know that.
I mean, he’s 27 years old, and must have seen me once or twice in our house.
@swissclive is that statement about your son true?
I apologize but at first I thought that you are trolling us.
It illustrates the point. I should work less.
I understand that your work is important to you, but right now it is exactly the moment when you have to give your body to rebuild. I think "everything that's done - all for the better" - is an old saying, the meaning that says that everything that happens to us should be taken lightly.
I think now this is the chance in your life when you can spend time with your son, I think that the family is very important.
I think that the decision to work on a full-time basis is the most accurate. Your doctor should be right.
I wish you to make the right decision
My dad has i-phone and from him only sometimes I get a chance to use i-phone, but one day I will also own this and this is really a perfect way to surprise the nearest and dearest ones by sending invisible messages.
Thank you mam for making us understood about this....steem on and stay blissful...
Hi @swissclive
It's only my 2nd day on STEEM. I'm glad to find you here. Your older posts seem even more better. I hope you'd keep posting great stuff.
When you are too busy to post try few of these tips & tricks posts. They are nifty and informative.
I'd also like to learn more about different applications of the STEEM blockchain. DTube seem genuinely good. It reminds me of the old YouTube. With the adpocalypse going well be getting lots of attraction.
Happy to follow you.
Adpocalypse!!!!! Is that a new word? Did you invent it? Great word! Dtube seems to have problems for me in uploading from an ipad, so it still feels like 1999.
Yes this is very much helpful for iphone users and this is very well described by you @swissclive.
What I could understand here is that when someone sends a message with invisible ink, then I can see the outline of the text, but the content will be covered with black and white dots and when I swipe on the message, I can see the text.
This is really really helpful, because we need to know all these hacks of iphone and at times it becomes a necessary phenomena also depending upon the situation.
Thank you so much for this video @swissclive. Have a great day.
Tips like this can make life a bit easier... thanks for sharing!
This is what I call a useful tips, thank you for that :)
One of the coolest features of Apple's new iOS 10 operating system is the ability to send and receive secret / invisible messages between your friends, family and colleagues.
If you have an iPhone 5, 6 or 7 then you can download Apple's latest iOS 10 operating system now and enjoy sending invisible ink text!
@swissclive this is indeed great. I was wondering when I'd learn this but you just made it easier for me.
Thanks a lot.
You're blessed
Thanks for the vote @swissclive
I'm looking forward to learning more from your posts
You're blessed
OMG, It was so interesting! Thanks for the informative video. I have been using an iPhone for 3 years and I didn't know this feature, I saw the first time. You are doing well, keep going!
All the best.
Wow! This is nice. All these while I never knew.
I can recall my brother complaining about this. This has indeed coloured my evening with smiles. Thanks Dear.
I will stay tuned for more tips from you.
Thanks for the vote @swissclive. 😘😘😘
You are welcome. It's a pity you didn't give me a vote. Ah - well, I'm not here for the money, so it does not matter.
Sorry my VP was low. it's back up and I've done that. 😘
Great info! Wasn't aware of this function! Thanks a lot!
Waooo, never knew this and i have been carrying this for quite some time now, this is a piece of an advice and will sure use it properly, thanks @swissclive
Wow! This is awesome, thanks for sharing this wonderful piece, i have learnt a lot already.
Hmm - That's a really cool feature - this little tweaks are what makes having an elite phone so fun - I am an android guy so I own a Galaxy Note 8 and the feature of "live messages" (google it - it's really cool!) that is pretty useless in functionality terms but is so fun me and my wife sat for about an hour writing things to each other with this feature :)
Seeing that little tweak makes me a bit jealous of you iPhone people, but I'll stick with my android for the time being :) I will just hope they ill learn from Apple and copy that feature and I'll go and check it on my neighbor's iPhone X - he will really be surprised and pleased to see an android fella like I am coming interested and enthusiastic about his iPhone!
thanks for sharing that :)
Nati.
It works! Never knew texts fonts were an option. We’ll have fun with this.
I am really blessed to be reading your posts anytime you post because they are not just informative but educative and inspirational.
Using IPhone have always been my dream. I just wish one day the dream will come true.
Thanks again for this great Post sir
Hah, this sounds a lot like using the messaging service in windows to send notes to your buddies in computer class back in the day! Lol "now we can talk to everyone in my family" indeed with this.
@swissclive I've used iphone for months and never knew this. It's incredible. Let me go try it out!
.
Oh real! This works..
Hey swiss man, I haven't seen you posting for a while, were you in a vacation? Or are you preparing some secret things at which you are using this iPhone function :D
Wow, the invisible ink effect looks really interesting! ^_^
I've never owned an iPhone but it definitely has some unique features, including some minor but quite cute abilities such as this one.
Thanks for sharing.
Great Tips@swissclive.
Can't relate to that, I'll share it with my friends using iPhone thou
Wow @swissclive you are great. Don't have an iphone. But seen it from friends phone. Its awesome..
Wow, amazing that something so simple could be this elusive until you just showed me how, i should have fun with this, hehe.
Thanks for the enlightenment @swissclive :D
I followed.
Thanks for this @swissclive, i've been stuck on this for a while now. You're the best
Invisible ink allows you to have a message with a big reveal — by sending a blank message that can only be read by swiping across the screen.Thankyou for telling us about such an amazing features , i really don't know about it before and welcome back you posted after a long time.
Thank you for enlightening us more sir, indeed we have been carrying a great device and literally had no idea what it was capable of doing, now de security officers can find a new way of makinh their job less stressful. Thanks @swissclive and @markzuckerbergs
Woah .......didn't know a feature like this was on the ios It actually works
Seriously! This is an eye opener indeed! Thanks a gazillion for this info @swissclive! Sending it out to my peeps who use Iphones asap. I'm also sharing it on Twitter...thank u!
@swissclive, thanks so much for updating us with this. I just shared this with a friend who is using an iPhone and it was of greater help to her. Thanks so much and get well soon dear
Apple products appear to be the most sophisticated in the market with a lot of hidden features which might be under-utilized. Thanks to tutorials by smart and witty users such as this. This can help other users get the best out of their devices. Good job!
Like this is on the iPhone? no wonder my friends rave about it and i am sure they have no idea this function exists and i will be the one to show them and watch them eat off my hands and i am surely going to get myself one soon. Thanks @Swissclive.
This is really cool! I do not have an Apple phone and have been using Samsung products for years now. I have been flirting with the idea of making the switch but I keep talking myself out of it. One if my good friends on here (Rebeccaryan) recently switched from Android to IOS and I think she is having a tough time adjusting. I will be able to upgrade this summer, so I have to decide between the S9 or take the plunge lol!
I wish I have an iPhone so I could try the feature. I'm thinking of buying one in future, I never thought sending massages with an invisible ink even possible before. Just imagine those people who have the gadget and be able to test it immediately, they must be having so much fun right now.
Most times mistakes turns out to be good.. Nice findings, who knows if it was also a mistake by the makers of iphone to put such features, we never would know i guess.
I do not yet have an IPhone.
However, I regest your video. Because there is an idea, what you focus on is attracted to life.
If you make a fast post with a video about the details of the iPhone, then it may appear in my life soon :)
I read comments about the disease - be reared! I like how some commentators write that they pray for you. It's really important and great that it is.
I could not immediately write a comment once you posted your post. And I am glad that I can do it now.
Thank you!
resteem and upvote
wow
This is amazing, iPhone are One of the most complicated gadget ever produced, sometimes doing basic stuffs could be so hell of a job, thanks for making this a lot easier @swissclive
Our world can only get better if we continue to develop our abilities and challenge our thoughts.
My mom struggled with her iPhone, she could not do this, your post just helped her understand the phone better.
HAPPY STEEMING
yes @ambdavid you really saying the truth there, our world continues to develop and more post are coming
Thanks so much for your nice comment!
What country do you come from?
I am very glad you liked the tip.
By the way, you may have noticed that I voted many of the comments anything from $0.39 to $39 depending on my mood. However, as I have limited voting power, I could not vote everybody.
I noticed that you did not vote my blog, so sadly that’s why I left you out. It doesn’t mean that I am not happy worth your comment. I am very happy with it thanks! I just had to make a choice. I hope I can upvote your comments or blogs in the future.
You were right @swissclive
I apologize
@ambdavid, it's really unfair to see you come to this extent lying about your upvote and comment when you really know what you have done. No one is obliged to upvote or comment on a any blog, it's a choice so therefore, you have no right to question anyone why he or she had remove his upvote? Your actions here says it all that you are a big and fat liar with your friend @akaninyeneudom, you guys needs to be guided on how steemit works, it's not a get rich quick platform, it takes hard work, consistency, determination and a good will to be somebody or recognised here and of course, be opened to be corrected too. Going by the images shown by @swissclive it's shows that you lied and steemit doesn't encourage acts like that if really you are here for the purpose of steemit or are you here for your own special interest? Be guided before you get guarded next time by being flagged to zero, thank you.
That's really helpful.. Great tutorial you did there..
I hope you got more.. Will follow up on 'em
Hi there, I am so glad that you found this tip helpful. Do you have an iPhone? If not, do you hope to buy one in the future.
I meant to ask. I was interested in your name. What country are you from and what is your mother tongue.
By the way, I noticed that you did not vote for my blog (no upvote). No worries, it seems from your comment you liked it anyway.
Hey @swissclive I just saw this comment now.. I've been really busy.
Well I do not have an IPhone cos to be honest it's quite expensive here.. So an IPhone purchase doesn't seem imminent in the near future..
Haha.. Really?? My name got you curious??.. Wow that's interesting to hear..
My name's actually Ubong.The "J" behind it stands for Junior which was the name I was known by when I was really young.
So @Ubongj (UbongJunior)..
I'm a Nigerian and my mother tongue is the Ibibio language which I guess you might have never heard of.
Ubong translated in English from ibibio means "Glory".
Yes yes I really enjoyed the blog cos it's really helpful.Even @xpressng mentioned it on whatsapp..
Sorry for not upvoting though...upvoted now
Don’t worry about forgetting to vote. Anyone could make that mistake and you are not obliged to vote when you comment.
I appreciate your honesty in confessing that it was a simple mistake rather than going into denial as you will see from the behavior of another commentor above.
I have given you a vote now.
thank you very much
Who's the sweet child in the background? :)
I don't use an iPhone and I don't think will ever get one after they admitted slowing down their phones intentionally but it hope android phone will get a similar feature.
Hope you get well soon :)
Wow, even though you are just recovering, you still find time to show us your new discovery on iPhone. Though, can't try it now cos I don't use a iPhone. I hope I will get one soon.
We can't wait to see you back with full force
Seems you were impressed by the utility of my blog about the iPhone hidden feature, even though you don’t have an iPhone, and can’t benefit from it. That’s very surprising. I thought my blog would only be of interest to people who already own an iPhone.
By the way, what country do you come from? Is it easy to buy an iPhone in your country?
I couldn’t help noticing that you did not upvote my blog. That’s why I didn’t upvote you. I guess you found my blog interesting anyway. I hope to be able to vote on your future comments or blogs.
I rally appreciate your comments, by the way.
@swissclive I'm very sorry that you did not seeing my upvote. I actually Upvoted this post. I guess the poor network made the upvote not to go through.
That is what we battle with here in my country. I'm from Nigeria and to get a very good network has been a challenge here.
Once again, I'm sorry and will upvote the post again right now. I hope the network will do well this time.
I will be happy to see your vote on my future comments and blogs
Don’t worry about the vote. Anyone could make that mistake or it could be your network not working. Anyway, you are not obliged to vote when you comment.
I appreciate your honesty in confessing that it was a simple mistake rather than going into denial as you will see from the behavior of another commentor above.
I have given you a vote now.
Thanks. I really appreciate the vote. Hope you are feeling a lot better now?
Wwooooww...I have had my iPhone for sometime now but never knew about this. How come am just getting to find this out now. Thought I already knew everything about my iPhone.
But on a second thought, can't this be decripted? If everyone gets to know about this, then sooner or later someone will find a way to decript hidden messages like this.
I know iPhone security is top notch but you never can tell what these geniuses out there are capable of. (Lol)
Edit: wow just tried it and it worked. Thanks for sharing this @swissclive
I am really glad that you are an iPhone user, and can use this tip to impress your friends.
Where are you from? Do most people in your country own an iPhone? Here it is nearly one in three.
You probably noticed that I voted many people who commented with amounts of up to $39. I didn’t vote for you as I noticed that you didn’t vote for my blog. I do like your comment, but I had only limited voting power, so I gave my votes only to those who voted for me.
Thanks for your comments nevertheless.
Helo @swissclive, I admit that I am wrong. Didn't know you took notice of those who upvote your blog. Upvoting when I like a post has never been a problem for me but as at the time I read this post , my voting power was already very low as I had been upvoting people all day and needed it to grow and again, I am still a minnow and new on steemit and I though my vote wouldn't mean anything much to you reason being that my voting power Worth's just $0.02 but neverthe less I appreciate that you found my comment worth upvoting...won't make this mistake again . I have upvoted it now.
thanks a bunch
Don’t worry about forgetting to vote. Anyone could make that mistake and you are not obliged to vote when you comment.
I appreciate your honesty in confessing that it was a simple mistake rather than going into denial as you will see from the behavior of another commentor above. Have a look at what he wrote and my pictures showing his actions.
I have given you a vote now.
Thanks a lot @swissclive, I really do appreciate your kind gesture.
Wow! Thanks for this. I really never knew that there's a feature like this.
I'm definitely gonna try it out ASAP.
Thanks for sharing this with us @swissclive
Happy Steeming
Edit: I've just tried it out and it works.
very good tips
Hi there! What country do you come from?

I was disappointed that you didn’t up-vote my blog though. If you like a blog, it’s generally customary to upvote it. Perhaps this was just a little oversight on your side. Don’t worry – I’m not after votes or anything. I really appreciated your comment.
Hi swissclive, I'm so sorry I didn't upvote your post on time. Its quite unusual and I think it is an oversight or I clicked the upvote button but I didn't work and I didn't notice.
I find it cool that you drew my attention to this. I'll be more careful with it next time.
And oh! I'm not sad you took the upvote back. I'll still follow, read your blog posts and comment cus I always learn from your post.
I'm from Nigeria
Happy Steeming

Have a look at the commenter who denied everything above. Maybe you can give him guidance?
I have given you a vote now.
OK.. Thank you. I'll do just that
It works fine...I just tried It......thank you so much for the knowledge
Just tried too and it worked...
Great information
It’s great that this useful tip works for you. I noticed that you did not up-vote my blog. No worries – you probably were in a hurry?
By the way, what country do you come from?
I was so happy to try out the trick @swissclive..i had to let my friends know about it....just slept over it and woke up this morning to see your vote was no where to be found...am from nigeria it was past midnight just had to put some post on my blog then i saw your post and i couldnt wait to tell everyone.
