App Lock for the Mobile App
Face ID, Touch ID or the fingerprint keep the conversations private when the app opens or comes back from the background.
The app asks for Face ID, Touch ID or the fingerprint, with the passcode as the fallback, and the app switcher shows no conversations. Calls are never covered by the lock.
Each site chooses whether members turn the lock on for themselves or the lock is required for everyone, and how long the app may stay in the background before it asks again. It is in Better Messages 3.2 and needs a new build of the app.
