    Texting is the opposite of discreet. It produces a written record of everything that’s said.

      Yeah but going through your partners phone without consent is a breach of trust and asking to go through their phone only happens once you suspect something. I’d say texting makes cheating easier to hide but also easier to prove

      Apps like Snapchat, signal and WhatsApp offer disappearing messages. And all three of those aren’t recorded by your carrier. What then?
