A private investigator has revealed the surprising app that most cheaters are turning to to be unfaithful...
With technology advancing faster than we can keep up with, it's easier than ever for unfaithful partners to cheat. Arguably, it's also easier than ever for us to catch them. Back in the day, we imagine it was a case of your partner arranging illicit meetings via the landline or by passing notes. These days, location sharing and hiding apps mean concerned spouses are never far away from finding out where you are thanks to your iPhone giving you away.
Apps like WhatsApp and Photos have added passwords to make snooping harder, although your partner might be questioning why you've got a lock on your messages and could be keeping something from them.

If you're worried your significant other is knocking boots with someone else, your first instinct is likely to check their standard text messages, WhatsApp, or Instagram DMs. Savvy cheaters are coming up with increasingly surprising ways to carry out their dirty business, and according to Australian private investigator Cassie Crofts, an unexpected app is their latest obsession.
Posting on TikTok, the private investigator and director of Venus Investigations explained how the iPhone Notes app is a cheater's paradise.
With notes built into your iPhone, iPad, and MacBook, it's a sneaky way for people to communicate in secret.
In a video that's been viewed over 57,000 times, Crofts said: "This is the iPhone hack that cheaters are obsessed with. A lot of people worry about secret messaging apps or calculators that hide secret photos but what a lot of people are using these days is much simpler and much harder to spot."

"It's the humble Notes app. Yes, the same place you pop grocery lists and all those draft angry texts to your ex.
“If you've got an iPhone, you can create a shared note with someone else. You can put notes in there, talk to each other, delete them when they're done and you can even put a password on it so no one else can access it."
Shared notes were created so you could do things like share a shopping list with your partner and update it while they're at the store...not go behind their back. Still, Crofts added: "People doing dodgy things will find a way to turn tech into a tool."

As Crofts reminds us: "Think about it, the suspicious partner is probably going to check your text messages, maybe even hop on Messenger but are they really going to remember to go and check the Notes app?"
If you're worried someone is cheating on you with a shared note, look out for a little person logo that's next to its title. That still requires access to someone else's phone, but it's something to look out for.
Now that the secret is out there, others took to the comments on her video to share their thoughts. One person said: "Such a shame you’ve given them ideas😂 but also helping us gals out at the same time 😭."
Another added: "Everyone's been cheating the wrong way all this time 🤨."

Someone else suggested there could be a benefit to someone not being able to find your messages, concluding: "This could be good in domestic violence situations too, accessing friends and family."
