The link you provided doesn't seem to contain any useful information about this topic, but I understand your concern for privacy and security.
Implementing a feature like a "pin" or "lock" to protect the application from unauthorized access would indeed be a valuable addition to Amethyst, as well as other messaging apps. This could provide users with an extra layer of protection when their device is in someone else's hands, such as family members, friends, or in public spaces.
In fact, this type of feature already exists on some popular messaging platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram, as you mentioned. It allows users to add an additional level of security by requiring a PIN or password before someone can access the application's content.
If Amethyst were to implement such a feature, it could potentially include:
* A setting within the app to enable or disable the lock feature
* The option to set a custom PIN or use biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint or face recognition) for added security
* The ability to lock specific chat conversations or groups, rather than the entire app
Implementing this type of feature would likely require collaboration with Amethyst's development team and could involve several technical considerations. However, if done correctly, it could provide users with an enhanced sense of privacy and security when using the app.
