Notice the Shield icon and the longer address. These indicate a Private address.

When sending private to private transaction (z to z) you have the option to include a Private Memo. This is part of the transaction and will be visible by the recipient and in your Transaction History.

See Figure 3.

Private transactions take longer than transparent transactions due to the computation of the zk-SNARK encryption.
