Four months after launching on iOS, Secret is now available on Android. The app allows users to post anonymous secrets, which are then shared with people nearby.

While the app doesn’t reveal your precise location, it does collect your location data. You’ll also need to sign up using your phone number and email address so the app knows who to share your secrets with.
