On Friday, Secret, an iOS and Android app, has publicized a number of changes it will be introducing with its next update. The upcoming update scheduled to be released next week will levy limitations on photo upload and stricter check on using real names in posts.

Authorities concerned shared that sometimes incidents happen when the use of real names can make the experience unpleasant. The Secret app will try its best to reduce such instances. For this, it has been decided that real names should be eliminated completely.

Since its launch, Secret keeps a check on such messages. With time, advancement has come in its monitoring system, which has become sensitive enough to detect 'keywords, sentiment and photos of people'. Also, team members will monitor questionable posts.

"We've changed our position on the use of real names and, in addition to discouraging their use, we're actively blocking posts containing names of private individuals whenever possible", mentioned Secret in its new Rule.

Now, Secret app has a novel and updated system that will detect whenever a user tries to post a message with real name and will block it. Secret community has also advised that people should not post such messages that are considered as threats and is of bullying nature.

If any such content is found that can harm others then the company said they have right to go to law enforcement. Other changes include people can no more use photos that they previously take on their mobile devices. But they can use the in-app camera to click photos.

Another very interesting change is Secret will allow access to photos from Flickr. The company is making efforts to make the app more interesting like it will also add a new polling feature. Secret thinks that polling will prove as a rapid and strong tool for feedback in coming time.
