About this app

Welcome to Vegas SMS, where what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Vegas SMS is the evolution the famous Shady SMS for 4.4+ Kitkat phones and you can switch over seamlessly using the convenient backup and restore system in both applications.

Vegas SMS is two parts. One part public, one part secret. The public messaging application has a launcher icon called Vegas SMS. The secret part has absolutely no icon, and no open button, so how do you open the app? Vegas uses telephone dialing code technology to open, the default dialing code is 123. After installing press the open button to activate your dialing code and you’re good to go with the ultimate stealth-messaging vault that only opens by dialing your customizable secret code into the telephone; it’s just like making a phone call.

Vegas SMS is the only fully function secret messaging app, designed for Android 4.4 Kitkat, with absolutely no root required!

All text, picture, and video messages, to a Vegas contact, automatically filter directly into Vegas bypassing everything for extreme security!

Existing Messages
★ Your existing messages are absolutely safe with Vegas. Just like the competition, and your stock messaging app, all Vegas does is present a user interface for you to interact with your messages.

Permissions
Vegas SMS uses countless permissions, and I'd like to clarify that my application is %100 malicious code free. It may request fancy scary sounding permissions but I can personally guarantee that all requested permissions are for specific features that you likely will use at some point or another.
