Option to set an alternative passcode ("double bottom") that either opens a limited set of chats, opens a different account, or destroys one of the connected accounts completely when entered.
Use cases
Could be used by political activists in opressive countries when they are required to unlock their chats.
Potential issues
If such an emergency passcode is set, the app won't be able to use your fingerprints or other biometric data to unlock chats. As a result, the absense of biometric unlock could be used a clear indicator that a person has something significant to hide – and it becomes impossible to prove this is not the case.
This might provide a false sense of security and might actually make the situation worse for an activist's or an innocent bystander.
I think it would be better if it would be possible that all passwords belonged to 1 account. because if someone has multiple phone numbers, via checking SMSs it could be implied that the person has multiple accounts. and sometimes buying new phone numbers is impossible or suspicious.

You've just changed the idea of this suggestion. First of all, you CAN use biometric while using double bottom. Moderators don't understand anything.

This is so cool.
It's basically you have ability to add a boogey PIN code, which you can set from any of these options. Maybe you can set from 1 to 3 boogey PINs:
• Your main PIN - opens all your DEFAULT chats and conversations • Boogey PIN that filters and shows only certain conversations - opens Telegram but only shows certain chats • Boogey PIN for Fake conversations - opens Telegram, but Telegram few auto-generates fake realistic conversations on your Chats list? Idk. • Boogey PIN for Empty Conversations - Shows only empty Telegram app? With no conversations at all. All of your conversations are hidden • Self Destruct Boogey PIN - Once you type it, maybe Telegram will only show an Empty Conversations, after remote deletion of all of your Telegram account?

Simply AMAZING. THE FUTURE IS HERE.

You can use the biometric data as usual for the entrance to the account with no secret chats or sensitive chats. When Face ID or Touch ID failed, then it’ll ask for passcode and that’s where you can enter the real passcode for your account with secret chats or fake passcode for the fake or normal chats.
