There seems to be quite a bit of nuance with private/hidden texting dialogue online.

Im not sure if Ive found what Im looking for or if Im misunderstanding how to set it up correctly.

Im looking for a private/hidden texting app that I can for example isolate and text a contact without requiring them to have the same app (if this makes sense) in other words, nothing changes on their end but Id like to isolate the convo from my native android sms app.

For clarity, when they reach out my native sms doesnt get alerted, its contained within the said app.

I used to have an app like this years ago, I believe it was even before smart phones. I dont recall the name. Does such an app exist today?
