Suggestion To Add In-App Browser And Password Protection To AndStatus Mobile Application
Component
My suggestion is for the installation of a switch to enable (in-app browser & password) in AndStatus Mobile pplication. AndStatus is an Open Source application that can be use to access multiple Social networks, including GNU social, Mastodon, Twitter and Pump.io.
- AndStatus mobile application can be downloaded here
Proposals
In-app browser: Been a mobile application that can be use to access multiple social platform at once, while browsing across various social platform through the app, there will be a need to open some embedded link. But currently this feature is not available, the option available is to click on the link while you open the link with any browser available on your mobile device.
password swich: since multiple social platform must have been logged in via AndStatus mobile application, there should be an option to set security password on AndStatus mobile application. Has this will help to prevent a third party from accessing all social platform that are logged in. This feature can be made in a way, that it will keep on request for password to login any time the user make an exist from the application.
The in-app browser and password switch can be added in the settings page by just clicking on the switch button to enable and disable the features.
Mockups/ Examples
Below is a suggested image examples of how it should look like.
The image above show that the switch button for both in-app browser & password are enabled at the settings page
The security for AndStatus application can also be made in form of pattern as shown above |
The image above is suggested image example of a finger print option to unlock the app after exiting the app |
written text password
Benefits
Having this features installed will help to ensure full privacy so as to prevent third party from accessing the application without consent.
This will also help to relieve the stress of going to third party application to open embedded link.
This feature will help encourage more user to install the application, since there is password protection & in-app browser which might serve as a limiting factor before.
