Messaging platform giant Discord has switched on end-to-end encrypted voice and video messaging for every user. The end-to-end encryption feature means that Discord users can now communicate privately without anyone else being able to listen in to their calls, not even Discord.
This is a major privacy win for the community’s hundreds of millions of users, soon after social media giant Meta pulled the plug on Instagram’s end-to-end encrypted messaging feature earlier this year. TikTok said it would also not end-to-end encrypt user messages after it became a U.S. company.
Discord launched the end-to-end encrypted voice and video calling feature in 2024, and on Monday rolled out the feature to every user, no action needed.
“End-to-end Encryption is now standard for every voice and video call on Discord, outside of stage channels. No opt-in required,” said Mark Smith, Discord’s vice president of core technologies, in a blog post.
