How to hide text messages or SMS on Android

2. If Google Messenger is not your default SMS app, then click on the link given here, to download the app and then set it as your default messaging app.
3. Now launch the Messenger app on your device.
4. Scroll through the list of messages to get to the conversation thread that you would like to archive.
5. Now simply slide the message to the right and the entire conversation will be archived.
6. It will no longer be visible in the Inbox and thus no one would be able to read it.

Although archiving text messages will remove them from the Inbox but it still does not guarantee that no one except you would be able to read them.

The contacts that you import to the app will be labeled as private and any message that you receive from them will get directed to the app. The best part is that your default messaging app will show a dummy message every time you receive an SMS from them.
