Requirements#
- Android 7.0 or later.
- Phones and tablets are both supported.
Biometric lock#
You can require your fingerprint or face unlock to open the app.
- Open Settings > Biometric Lock.
- Turn on Enable biometric lock. The switch will not turn on if no biometrics are set up on the device.
- Pick Auto-lock after, from immediately to never.
The same screen has Blur in app switcher, Lock on account switch and Require on app open.
Push notifications#
Allow notifications when the app asks. Choose what to be told about in Settings > Notifications: new mail, VIP contacts only, quiet hours, the new-mail sound, and whether the sender, subject and preview appear. If alerts do not arrive, check the notification settings for SipherMail in Android’s system settings. See Notifications.
Tablets#
On a tablet, or any wide window, the app uses a multi-pane layout with folders, the message list and the reader side by side. Narrower windows use two panes, and phones show one screen at a time.
Stylus signatures#
On a tablet with a stylus, such as an S Pen, you can draw a signature in the compose screen.
- Start a new message.
- Open the signature picker.
- Choose Draw signature and draw.
- Save. It is stored as a signature named "Drawn" with the date.
Draw signature appears once you have at least one signature and the device detects a stylus.
Subscriptions#
If you subscribed through Google Play, manage it from Settings > Account & Billing > Manage Subscription. See Billing and plans.
