Description by Guardian Project: Apps You Can Trust(from Google Play)
Have a secret that you want to share? Why not hide it in a picture? With PixelKnot, only your friends with the secret password can unlock your special message. Everyone else just sees a pretty picture. It’s a fun and easy way to share hidden messages without anyone knowing. Take those pixels, twist them in a knot, and see for yourself!
★ DISGUISE YOUR MESSAGES: Pictures are public, the text is hidden inside. Even a trained eye will think the image is unedited. It’s security through obscurity! ★ FOR YOUR EYES ONLY: Put a password on the secret message to make sure that no one can read it except the person it’s meant for. ★ EASY IMAGE CHOOSER: You can use the camera to take photos, or just use photos you’ve already taken. ★ INVISIBLE CHANGES: Even a trained analyst analyst shouldn’t be able to detect any message. The image bytes should seem undistorted. ★ SHARE ACROSS PLATFORMS: Want to share the images over email, file sharing tools (like Dropbox & Sparkleshare), social media (like Google+ & Flickr) or directly through Bluetooth or NFC? Not a problem! The messages are still recoverable on the other side. We'll have even more tools (like Facebook) working soon, so stay tuned! ★ AD-FREE: We want your love, not your money. ★ MATHEMATICALLY SECURE: We use the newly developed steganography algorithm F5 which implements matrix encoding to improve the efficiency of embedding and employs permutative straddling to uniformly spread out the changes over the whole steganogram. ★ ATTACK RESISTANT: We’ve launched attacks on images with messages hidden in them using a specialized version of stegdetect, an automated tool for detecting steganographic content in images. In most cases, the pictures have been impervious to attack. We will be including detection in an upcoming version of the application so you can easily test it yourself! Don’t see your language?

I got my copy from the net hunter apk store, and I was happy when I saw what it was. But now I... I keep trying to use it with different phones, settings ect just hoping It's me not you.... But it's you. I realized that this morning as I was in the shower rocking back and forth telling myself it's not my fault... Seriously, don't give up on this one it's a great idea, just make up with your friends and suck it up buttercup... Don't make us suffer for your bad choices... Kidding but app is awesome.

Works kust as described! Will there be an opportunity to open messages from app nit through file managers "open with" function? Is this app still supported?
★☆☆☆☆Kendra W· Dec 4, 2018
Be careful. I tested by choosing a photo, writing message and sending to myself. The email came with a different photo from my gallery. It was not next to or remotely similar to the photo I put the test message on. Imagine if a personal photo went to whomever you were sending the secret message to. Scary. Also, since first test and then second test the darn app won't work. Also tried retrieving messages from photos with no message or with wrong password, and it just spins. Should give a message like no message detected or incorrect password.
