You should add a warning that deleting the local database logs you out of all your accounts
- Good idea, I’ll add in something at the top of the debug menu which warns users about the potential actions that may occur. I do feel like the debug menu itself is a bit self-explanatory and users would normally just stay away from it unless necessary!
When will we get different app icons?
- This might take a bit more time before we can add it in. The caveat with this is that we have to handle it for both iOS and Android devices which is what makes it a bit more tricky!
  
  Cant wait,current icon is cool but its always better to have choice.
