New Privacy Features For Facebook and Instagram

Meta has announced the start of a roll-out of default end-to-end encryption for all personal chats and calls via Messenger and Facebook, with a view to making them more private and secure. 

Extra Layer Of Security and Privacy 

Meta says that despite it being an optional feature since 2016, making it the default has “taken years to deliver” but will provide an extra layer of security. Meta highlights the benefits of default end-to-end encryption saying that “messages and calls with friends and family are protected from the moment they leave your device to the moment they reach the receiver’s device” and that “nobody, including Meta, can see what’s sent or said, unless you choose to report a message to us.“
