Hello there, As part of the 1.42 release (congrats !), a welcome change is the guaranteed E2EE. The process is really simple and works flawlessly. Is it possible though to turn a contact that was manually entered into a contact with guaranteed E2EE ? I didn’t see it in the updated FAQ. ---

> congrats ! thanks ❤ > Is it possible though to turn a contact that was manually entered into a contact with guaranteed E2EE ? the “QR show/scan procedure” described at [FAQ - Delta Chat](https://delta.chat/en/help#howtoe2ee) is not limited to new contacts but should also work for contacts that were manually added before or come from other sources as address books ---
