FB Messenger Is Now End To End Encrypted

FB Messenger

After years of wait, Meta has finally launched end-to-end encryption for FB Messenger.

The update, Meta says, has required a ground-up re-build of the app, with stronger privacy at the core, which will provide more assurance to users that their private chats will remain that way, no matter who might seek to infiltrate them, be it Meta or anybody else.

In the words of Meta –

“The extra layer of security provided by end-to-end encryption means that the content of your 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. This means that nobody, including Meta, can see what’s sent or said, unless you choose to report a message to us.”

First off, you’ll soon be able to edit your messages for up to 15 minutes after you send them.

Disappearing messages will also last for 24 hours, as they do on WhatsApp, while Meta’s also making it easier to see when disappearing messages are active in your chats.

E-2-E encryption for FB Messenger has been rolled out globally.
