// what it does
  • Open the chat's ••• menu → Lock chat → create your 4-digit PIN
  • Locked chats move to Projects › Locked chats and are hidden from history, pinned chats and search; Face ID or Touch ID works on supported iPhones
  • Resetting a forgotten PIN permanently deletes your locked chats. Locking hides chats; it isn't end-to-end encryption
