Facebook Messenger Now Supports End-To-End Encryption


Back in July, Facebook announced they were testing end-to-end encrypted conversations for their Messenger platform, and it is now available to all Messenger users. The new security feature comes in form of an incognito mode called ‘Secret Conversations’, and Facebook has made it optional so that you can choose to either enable or disable the feature for your account. It’s different from the general encryption that WhatsApp uses but is more identical to the incognito chat on Google Allo and Snapchat.
