iPhone Secret Hacks That Can Catch Cheaters

When a suspicious partner reaches for their partner’s phone, their first move is often to check text messages.

But just because no incriminating evidence has emerged, that doesn’t mean there aren’t secrets hiding in plain sight.

Skye Wheatley, an Australian internet celebrity who is open about her relationship woes, went viral on TikTok after revealing a little-known iPhone feature that allows you to discover deleted text messages.

However, this trick only works on Apple devices.

Wheatley told followers to open the built-in Messages app, tap the “Edit” button in the upper left corner, and select “Show recently deleted.”

From there, all recently deleted chats will appear, and any conversations you choose to restore will be restored directly to your inbox for reading (at your own risk).

Whitley recently confirmed she had split from long-term partner Lachlan Waugh, writing in the caption: “Sister, don’t be naive”.

When a fan asked her if she was hinting at something, she replied: “No, just wanting my girls to be safe.”

While it’s unclear whether her post was related to her own love life, many people took to the comments to say the ploy exposed their partner’s cheating.

Mommy blogger Bella Messina, whose marriage to Adrian Messina has been dogged by cheating rumors, wrote: “Guaranteed this feature is very helpful xx”.

Others chimed in: “That’s how I found mine.”

A third shared, “This is how I found girls’ names when I was 40 weeks pregnant,” while a fourth revealed the method exposed their partner’s hiring of an escort.

Meanwhile, other users praised Wheatley for sharing the hack.

“This saved my life,” one wrote.

Another added: “I never thought about that.”

But if this trick doesn’t work, there are some other strategies to try…

Private investigator Cassie Crofts from Venus Investigations told news.com.au cheaters often find more creative ways to hide their tracks.

“They use the Notes app built into iPhone, iPad and MacBook,” explains Crofts.

“After starting a new note, you can click the “More” button and select “Share note.”

“From there, it’s easy to add someone’s details as a collaborator, and once they accept the invitation, you’re good to go.

“Two people can now send each other secret messages, read them and then delete them. They can even add a password to keep out snoopers.”

It’s not just text – videos and images can be shared in notes, too, making sharing spicy content easier than ever.

Crofts added that another red flag might show up in your emoji keyboard.

“One client became suspicious when she noticed an eggplant emoji in her boyfriend’s usual area,” Crofts said.

“But she never received a message from him. It seemed trivial, but it turned out he was sending flirtatious messages to other people.”
