Meta has announced that Facebook Messenger is finally getting end-to-end encryption mode without the need to enable secret conversation.
Aside from Meta AI, the company is also rolling out end-to-end encryption for personal messages as well as calls on Facebook Messenger and Facebook. This is a feature that the company promised a long, long time ago, and it is finally rolling out, which certainly is a good thing.Better late than never, as Facebook Messenger is finally getting universal end-to-end encryption
Now, it is important to know that Facebook Messenger has had encryption since 2016, but it was a part of the “secret conversation” feature rather than being something that is enabled by default. However, that is now changing as the feature is going to be enabled by default, which is how it should have been from the get-go.
According to Loredana Crisan, Head of Facebook Messenger, Meta is now going to turn on end-to-end encryption for messages as well as calls between two people. Crisan claims that the company has spent years “rebuilding Messenger features from the ground up.”
Since 2016, Messenger has had the option for people to turn on end-to-end encryption, but we’re now changing private chats and calls across Messenger to be end-to-end encrypted by default.
