Am I tripping or if you upgrade Signal Desktop, it saves all your messages in plain text (messages.json) + attachments locally so you can re-import them in the newer version? #fail #wtf

'Chunks' can mean 'your last 5 days of messages'. Scrolling further would require a retype. But even if it is kept in memory, it's still good against device theft.
We already have FDE to protect against device theft. Doing it in the app would require you to log in on every boot. It makes a lot more sense to have FDE for the whole system rather than each app implementing its own thing.

The FDE is 1. optional 2. a single 'gate'. Are you saying (and I don't mean this to be a strawman) that everything on q device should be protected by a single password? In my payment app I have a PIN, in addition to my device unlock pattern. It does add security

Credential minimization is desirable and good security practice, otherwise users just write them down. Sure, if you *really* want an app-level PIN every time you switch to an app you can implement that with crypto, but *nobody* wants that for a messaging app.
