How To Hide Names On iPhone Text Messages

Let's hide anyone's name on your iPhone text messages in this quick and easy guide.
If you want to hide the fact that you're texting with someone I walk you through two tricks to hide them. First, you will want to set your notifications so that it doesn't show who texted you on the lock screen, but just that you got a text. Next, you can go into the Messages app itself and change the name of the person you're texting with to something secret. That way if anyone gets into your iPhone they won't know who exactly that person is who you're texting.
I hope this video helped solve your problem. App still not working? If so, drop your question in a comment below!
