Good thing nobody can aim a camera at a phone screen showing them opening up a conversation and record a video of them opening a conversation with that person. Inconvenient, sure, but if someone wanted to be a snitch, it's a pretty small obstacle. Unless I missed something and you can't see the names in a list of conversations, but that sounds all sorts of confusing.
