Feature request: app encryption #114

Closed nexus4fun closed 8 years ago

nexus4fun commented 8 years ago

Hello, it was nice to add full encryption of the app, to make it completely protected (sent/received files and pictures too). Is there is plans for such a feature?

Why not use full disk encryption instead? Encryption of app's cache/config adds additional complexity and possibility of making errors when using the app. What benefits does it provide over full disk encryption?
