What if I lose my phone, for example? This is not the only situation where other people can read all my chats. I can simply forget it on the desk in the office… Or a family member can see a chat that I would not like to discuss…  
It would be very good if all the data of every profile was stored in an encrypted containers, and when the application was launched, profile data would be decrypted into the device’s RAM. Only after entering the password! This is how it is done in qTox, for example
