[Feature-request] Hidden conversations
Created by: JoWilfrid
I think it would be a geat improvment in terms of UX if we could have hidden conversations and group conversations!
Example of use cases:
1- The gift
I'm living with my wife and it's valentine's day soon. I want to buy her a special gift as a surprise. As we're very often together, I fear she sees one of the sms between I and her bestfriend to whom I asked for advices. Plus I want to make her thinking I won't buy anything for her.
2- The surprise party
It's a friend's birthday soon and as we grown up, our friends aren't in the same city/country than us. I spend a lot of time with him and don't want to risk that he guess I'm talking to our old friends in order to organize the surprise party.
Proposition:
I'd like to be able to hide entire discussions or to create new ones even if I have a non-hidden discussion with the same contact(s). Same for group discussions. In my dreams, I could have whether a password per discussion or a password for all discussions. For example by default, I set a password for all hidden discussions and I can override it for some of my contacts. Since I've not gave my password to unlock hidden discussions, I don't want anybody which access my phone to be able do know if I have some or how many I have. It would be great if, in addition, even if I have all hidden discussions unlocked, I don't see discussions with specific password. Concerning notifications, I'm not sure about what would be best but I have some ideas:
- no notification
- with fake text, talking about something else and asking password (eg: we need your password to proceed some updates)
- fake error message (eg: error while processing messages indexation, please check the report)
As example, you can have a look at GoSMS Pro android app.
