This guide will walk you through the steps to export your chat history to Vault, providing you with an additional layer of security and privacy for your messages.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Access Device Settings
Begin by navigating to your device's settings menu. You can usually find this icon on your home screen or in your app drawer.
Step 2: Open App Settings
Scroll through the settings menu and select "Apps" or "Applications." This will open a list of all the apps installed on your device.
Step 3: Choose Secure Chat
From the list of apps, find and tap on "Secure Chat" to access the app settings.
Step 4: Access Storage Settings
Within the Secure Chat app settings, locate and tap on "Storage." This section manages the storage usage of the app.
Step 5: Clear Storage or Backup Chat History
In the "Storage" section, you will have the option to either "Clear Storage" or "Backup Chat History." Tap on "Backup Chat History" to initiate the process of exporting your chat history.
Step 6: Unlock Your Chat
For security purposes, you will be prompted to unlock your chat before proceeding. Enter your security lock (PIN, password, or biometric authentication) to confirm your identity.
Step 7: Choose Export Chat
Once unlocked, you will be presented with a choice between "Backup Chat History" and "Clear App Data." Tap on "Backup Chat History" to proceed with exporting your chat history.
Step 8: Authenticate with Vault
The system will redirect you to your Vault application. You will be prompted to authenticate yourself to access your Vault. Use your Vault lock (PIN, password, or biometric authentication) to unlock your Vault.
Step 9: Saving Successful
Upon successful authentication, the system will begin the process of exporting your chat history to your Vault. Once completed, a snackbar message will be displayed, confirming that the chat history has been successfully saved to your Vault.
Extensions:
Insufficient Vault Storage
If your Vault does not have enough storage space to accommodate the exported chat history, the system will display a snackbar message indicating that the export has not been successful.
Vault Authentication Failure
If you do not successfully authenticate yourself to Vault or decide to cancel the process, the system will display a snackbar message indicating that the export to Vault has not been successful.
Importing Backup After Clearing Data
After creating a backup and then clearing your app data, ensure that you import the backup during your next login to Secure Chat. The new backup will overwrite the old backup in Vault, maintaining the accuracy and security of your chat history.
