Why you can trust Pocket-lint (Pocket-lint) — Facebook Messenger is introducing end-to-end encryption, or E2EE, for voice and video calls. Facebook began trialing end-to-end encryption in 2016 — when it added a mysteriously named » secret conversations » feature to its Messenger mobile app that offered the option to secure one-on-one text chats with end-to-end encryption. In the past year, Facebook said it’s noticed a surge in the use of audio and video calling. So, it’s upgrading this chat mode so you can secure your voice and video calls, if you choose. The social network announced in a blog post on 13 August 2021 that Messenger now sees more than 150 million video calls a day, so it’s rolling out end-to-end encryption for voice and video calls as well as more functionality for disappearing messages.
