As far as I know, there are no plans to add encryption to AsyncStorage. @krizzu correct me if I'm wrong. However, there's nothing preventing you from encrypting the data before handing it over to AsyncStorage. There seems to be plenty of packages providing this feature: https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=keywords:crypto |

@tido64 Thanks for replying. I have a question though, will there be any impact in performance to the app if i encrypt and store using one of the encryption package. |

It will definitely have some impact since you'll be doing extra work, but how much will depend on your workload. You'll most likely need to do some benchmarking yourself. I suppose you could also ask the package authors for some numbers to give you an idea of what it might be, but it won't be accurate for your app. |
