Hi, thanks for raising this. We have this on our internal backlog but it's never bubbled up to the top priority wise so we haven't got to implementing it yet. If users vote on this issue with 👍 we'll maybe get it prioritised sooner.

[dmaes]

Nice to hear it's already in the backlog, looking forward to see it implemented.

Please implement.

@CDRussell is there any desire to have a community PR to resolve this issue?

[CDRussell]

Good suggestion; this probably should be flagged for community help to get it done. @subsymbolic you agree?

[subsymbolic]

Great shout. It'll be a while before we can look at this, help from the community would be awesome. I've added the "help wanted" label.

Implemented in https://github.com/duckduckgo/Android/pull/460; thanks @dapacheco! 👏
