Description

When i enter my hidden message, and swipe to the left, at no point am i warned or told that I should use a password.

All that I see is the bright blue lock action bar button, which is definitely alluring and intriguing but easy to skip.

I was told to get rid of that, so I did. Mark, pls advise...

Yes, let's talk about this. I think we want to insure people aren't sending messages unencrypted while thinking they are encrypted

#3 Updated by ex1st almost 5 years ago

This was a design decision. The user is given the ability to choose whether or not to add a password. If they choose not to, which they are encouraged to do with placement and color of the button, then they should not be prompted to. It seems redundant.

Okay, I guess that is fine for v1 release.

I think I would like to redesign this however, and present it more as a choice between a "Broadcast Message" (w/o encryption) and "Private Message" (with encryption), so that we help the user understand why they might to use encryption or not.
