Are local files encrypted? #3069

Is there an existing request for feature?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

What feature would you like?

Are local files encrypted? Specifically if I put password on Session. It would be dumb to get caught on expropriated device cuz local files (photos, documents, etc) were unencrypted.

Anything else?

No response

Yes, if you use a password to protect your Session account, then files and your database remain encrypted locally and cannot be accessed without the password.
