That's not true. The option is there. (Edit: at least for now, some changes in that area are upcoming)

The attack usually happens at night. By the time you wake up, all your chat histories are already downloaded and the secret police is on its way.

I tried it before I wrote the comment to be 100% sure, the option was not there, and it still is not.

I am not sure why it is the case but I am quite sure it was the case way before as I was making sure of this back then.
