Meta introduces default end-to-end encryption for Messenger

Meta, the parent company of Whatsapp, Facebook, and Instagram, has implemented end-to-end encryption for Messenger as a default setting. Messages sent on Messenger will now be encrypted by default, so no one other than the sender and recipients will be able to read them.

The default end-to-end encryption for Messenger has been something Meta has promised to implement for years, but obstacles and delays have delayed implementation. Meta clarified that the feature will gradually be rolled out to all Messenger users worldwide.

Meta is also introducing several new features for Messenger, such as speed control for voice messages, the ability to resume listening to a voice message where you left off, and the capacity to edit messages up to fifteen minutes after they are sent.

Meta has also said that it is working on the ability to send HD photos and videos on Messenger.

The Google Pixel 8 smartphone works well with the messaging apps such as the (Meta) Messenger, and is currently available on Amazon at a 21% discounted price of $549.
