The secret code is kept locked away on their hard drive and is probably automatically encrypted itself. The public code is known by Facebook (or whichever mutual hosting platform people want to use) but in order to connect with someone you send them a public friend request and then they'll send you a second, auto-generated public code which is their real username. Essentially obfuscating the connection process by using a public middleman as an intermediary before exchanging more secure connection protocols. Like giving someone your phone number that you met in a bar, or your telegram handle if you met online. Then, from that point on, every message includes a hidden portion at the bottom which is the new address you should send the next message to. This is all TCP style btw, not UDP. These "addresses" could literally be ipv6 addresses and port numbers. There's enough such that every message sent for the next thousand years would fit in the allowable address space. Why do we even need middle-men again for messaging applications? Oh right because users are too dumb to install said application. Well... Tough shit, stop being lazy.
