Multiple activation methods are available.

Moreover, you have the option to display the Iris button only after successful authentication. Iris also offers the convenience of automatically concealing the hidden conversation list for a clutter-free experience, as well as the ability to disable swipe actions to prevent accidental interactions, providing users with full control over their messaging experience.
