YES! This is pretty handy.

A new feature rolls out this week on Facebook Messenger allowing secret convos to get even more private, as in your-two-eyes-only private.

Starting now, anyone using the Messenger app can turn on Secret Conversations which hides messages not sent from that exact device.

What that means is, if you are planning a sneaky surprise birthday party for your partner using your phone, Facebook can stay up and open on your desktop at home without any threat of the word getting out. 

GENIUS! 

With a customized expiration time, users can alter whether their messages stay available permanently or if they disappear in a matter of 5 seconds.
