Cheaters around the world, how do you communicate with your bit on the side?

Is it though swiftly-deleted text messages or a password protected WhatsApp hidden behind one of those privacy screens. Well, what if I told you there was a much simpler way that people are getting away with doing the dirty on their beloved. Through the use of an app which so innocuous that a suspicious spouse or partner wouldn't even think to check it.

This is exactly what is happening, according to one private investigator.

Australian PI Cassie Crofts, who helps people catch cheating partners through her company Venus Investigations, revealed that expert adulterers are turning to the humble Notes app in order to conduct their illicit business.

Now I imagine your initial reaction to this revelation is something along the lines of 'really' or 'how' due to fact that most people use the Notes app to write out their weekly shopping list, draft messages or jot down nonsensical 2am thoughts.

And so it was, until a recent update to the app meant that users can create shared notes in order to collaborate with others.

Explaining how this works on a recent TikTok, 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."

She continued: "It's the humble Notes app. Yes, the same place you pop groceries 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."

CNET further says that a cheating partner can also use the 'Stop Sharing' option to not only remove people from the note, but also deletes it entirely, too.

That's right folks, paranoia about an unfaithful spouse isn't only limited to text messages and social media apps, but also the Notes app.

Viewers were, of course, floored to learn that cheating partners may have been using this technique to get away with their actions, with one person commenting: "Everyone's been cheating the wrong way all this time," while a second simply added: "Wow!"

Whereas for someone else, that was where they discovered the ugly truth, writing: "Actually I did check the notes app."

Turns out the Notes app isn't way to sneakily conduct an affair either, with a third viewer revealing: "My ex husband was having an affair and messaging through the games app Words with Friends."

Will we ever know a moment of peace in the cold and unforgiving world of modern dating?
