Patently is when something is clear or obvious.
“It's patently obvious that he doesn't care.”
You use apparently to indicate that the information you are giving is something that you have heard, but you are not certain that it is true.
“Apparently she doesn’t like me.”

@Dong1 yes, it is often used when there is a rumour about someone or something. Something we are not certain of.
