> The app works by minutely altering the first photo to conceal the other.

What does this mean?

From the end-users perspective, I guess they still need the app to do this, at which point you could just send two images and no one would know anyway - and it'd save you some time.

What does your age have to do with the app? Isn't that just irrelevant information?

I think it's relevant. I like browsing the Show HN section to see what kind of stuff people build, and I'm curious about the people building the stuff. I look at things differently when they are made by a high school student vs someone who has been working in the industry for a couple of years. For example, I wouldn't complain that there are lot of similar competing apps when it's clear that this is someone just trying to build their first app...

Yup, on point. This is a method of Steganography.
