The concepts presented here show how I would improve the existing Virtru iOS app. I created these redesigns based on existing problems that I found in the app.
Click on "See Before" to view the product screens and features before my proposed solutions (alternatively, click on any image to scroll through all solutions).
Solution: On these screens, I created a stronger presence for the "Activate Virtru" call to action. Once activated, I present the user with a way to logout and log back in easily. I offer more options for doing so, including the addition of Touch ID.
Solution: Errors and Notifications now feel more native to iOS in this case. Notification preferences can be set or turned off by the user, if having them on is a privacy concern.
Solution: Clear differentiation has been created between encrypted vs. unencrypted email, including lock icons and improved filtering (screens 1 and 2). A more user-friendly drawer, with a clearer way to add additional accounts and access to settings was created. The email address for "feedback@virtru.com" was removed, in favor of linking to the Virtru Zendesk help page. This would now be found, along with other useful information, in "About Virtru."
Solution: I incorporated a way to mark both encrypted and unencrypted messages as "read." A "more" button was added, leading to additional Virtru specific options for the user.
Solution: I created a stronger native experience for reading emails, including the addition of a timestamp. Hitting the reply button (bottom right) leads to additional "Secure Reply" and "Secure Reply All" options. Since this is a secure message, the lock icon has been carried over.
Solution: The "Turn Virtru Protection ON" toggle has been simplified, and I replaced the orange background with the "Virtru blue" background. The message options link is a darker blue from the design system palette. These changes create a more cohesive "on brand" experience. "Security Settings" became "Message Options," for more consistency with Virtru's Gmail plugin.
