Signal failed to prevent soneone from accessing my unlocked phone and starting Signal! Everything was right there!
On iOS you can set an app to require additional credentials to open, to prevent this situation. I'd imagine Android had something similar. I did it for all my important apps, just in case. Don't want someone able to access my bank account ~~or nudes~~.
Some android custom UIs have this. Signal has this built in though.
