Hello all
I'm a droid user and awaiting the 1020. Never used a Windows phone until today (tested out the 920) and went into the app store and couldn't find any options for changing the text messaging. I use Go SMS and need to hide txts from women and that snoop in my phone. Also need to have hidden texts go into a private box is this an option with windows software?

We don't have that yet. Or 3rd party apps that change the default functions of the phone ( such as changing the keyboard ).

[AtomStellar]

That sounds pretty drastic. No third party apps. And no customization?

I should've said in case a woman snoops in my phone. But either way I need 0 advice in women. Was excited for the 1020 to take better pics of said women lol.

The only thing us WP8 users customize around these parts are tiles size/color and background color. Bro.

I respectfully disagree with all of the above posts. There are a few options for private SMS and private chat message applications, which require pins and where the entire application is encrypted, to allow to you to accomplish exactly what you'd like. Again, you'd have to download the different applications to try them out to see which one suits your needs best but YES there are options to allow for private SMS/messaging. I cannot give an exact recommendation because I don't know specifically which would suit your specific needs best. Just look up 'private messaging' in the Windows Store; you will find them.

There are apps like WhatsApp/Viber, but AFAIK there is no application on WP that can completely replace the OS' built in SMS app and take over its functions. From what I know it would be impossible for an app to access the SMS database.

Correct for SMS you can only use the built in app and it has no way to move texts etc.

Hey Atom, welcome to WPCentral! For a specific question like this, try asking in the WP apps forum, you might get some replies from people that have faced a similar situation.

Welcome aboard. When you search for an app, if you preview one, make sure to scroll all the way to the right and check the "related" apps. You may find what you're looking for there.
