I'd like to support ID verification of the person you're chatting with.

If I want to chat with someone from FB marketplace (or a girl from a dating app), there is very little tooling available to verify they are who they say they are and not a collection of fake scam profiles.

Zalo has a neat feature that lets you "search" through contacts and messages, but if you search a magic pin code, it shows you hidden conversation views that don't show up in the regular search / recent conversations list.

If anyone is interested in building something to help with the identify issue, hit me up!
