Unlike on other mobile devices, you can’t set a 4-digit PIN. Your Librem 5 requires your password to consist of at least six characters.

Out of the box, true - but you can override this and have a 4-digit PIN if you want.

Noted. Unless I find the default message app doesn’t do somethting I want then maybe I’ll check it out.

I find having apps is like a “first normal form” in a relational database (DB). In a DB you don’t want duplicate fields with the same thing. I’m finding I’d rather have a first normal form for phone apps.
