This only exists on jailbroken iphones.

the alternate is to setup the passcode lock and secure the entire phone

What functionality are you looking for?

If you are looking to be able to remotly wipe your device there is services out there that will work with non jailbroken devices.

If you are looking for like antivirus for your phone that doesn't exist nor is it really needed if your phone isn't jailbroken

If your looking for something else please let us know and we will do our best to help you

secure text messages

I just want to send / receive messages , that only me and my friend to whom I send / receive the messages would be able to read them , and store them on my iphone .

 

[Mythico]

Are you wanting to encrypt the messages you send out or are you just wanting it so that if someone picks up your phone and goes to your messages that they cant read them?

 

[flyingember]

does your friend have an iphone.

if one exists, you want a public/private encrypting application that's password protected.

your friend would need the same

[flyingember]

do you have names of such applications for iphone

if I did I wouldn't have posted "if one exists"

I would start searching.

I think what you're looking for is PrivateTIP. A great new app.
This will enable you the secret messaging you asked about.


if you're just into security in general you can check 1password,

Hi , well in continuation to my first replay , I have downloaded the application PrivateTIP it is free on app store , it is doing great , and serves my needs .

it does work for sure, I use it as well. Just make sure you have a txt'g plan that includes MMS or your will be paying a lot for that "free" security app.
