Your local vault: everything encrypted under your PIN

Encrypting messages in transit is no longer enough. What compromises you is almost always on the phone itself: a lost device, a backup, a search, someone who borrows it for a minute. Today we switch on xox's local vault: everything the app stores on your device is encrypted with a key that only your PIN can open. Without the PIN there are no chats, no contacts, no keys. Only noise.
