Yeah I realize it is android only and that makes sense that is exactly what I was looking for surprised signal doesn’t encrypt the database honestly.
They used to. Then they removed it. And Molly forked and put it back in.
Makes sense thank you for clarification
The main issue with encrypting the database using Molly's setup is you'll miss notifications and calls until you unlock, this might be able to be fixed using a different database encryption setup but as it stands it would be inconvenient for many.
That makes allot of sense why signal does not have it would be a issue for most regular users.
