Instagram has announced it will discontinue end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messages starting in May. According to a report by The Verge, Meta decided to remove the feature due to low user adoption.
What Changes for Users?
- Feature Shutdown: Direct messages will no longer offer E2EE options on Instagram.
- Data Backup: Users are advised to download any encrypted conversations or media before the deadline to avoid data loss.
- Alternatives: Meta recommends that users seeking encrypted communication switch to WhatsApp.
