Panic mode option for delta chat

[miumiu]

hello,

could you add a panic mode : if the user enter a pin code (he can choose the pin) delta chat delete all messages stored locally and all messages stored on the email server.
this option would be desactivated and the user must activated it, if he want to use the option.

i think, this can be achieved by 3rd party apps as eg. Panic app uninstall and repo reset | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

this also has the advantage that you can swipe more than just Delta Chat in a multi-tool context.

third party software will not erase delta chat messages on the server and the user wants everything in one software. otherwise why not encrypt your messages with third party software as well and delete delta chat ?
you have to know what you want: improve delta chat or tell users to find third party software…

Add a feature to initiate a panic code during emergencies

I’m proposing a panic code on the DeltaChat application. The panic code should be included within the delta chat settings tab. A user should be able to choose his panic code and when this panic code is entered, it should wipe off all chats locally and remotely within the delta chat application. The benefit of this proposal is that if a user is forced to unlock his delta chat application, he can initiate the panic button which will automatically wipe of his messages
