If you\u2019re a Messenger user, there\u2019s some good news<\/a>, as you\u2019ll now have access to end-to-end encryption on all of your calls and chats.<\/p>\n

The feature actually launched a few years ago to some users, but now all users can encrypt their conversations when using Meta\u2019s chat app<\/a>lication.<\/p>\n

There are two ways to use Messenger\u2019s end-to-end encryption. You can swipe up on an existing chat to enter vanish mode, which will make it, so all of your messages are deleted when the chat window is closed. There\u2019s also\u00a0Secret Conversations, which is used by clicking the lock when you create a new chat.<\/p>\n

As far as what encryption actually does, it makes it so\u00a0only you and the person you\u2019re chatting with will be able to read the contents of your messages. It\u2019s a nice little layer of security.<\/p>\n

In addition, Meta announced some new features for encrypted chats. Now, if someone takes a screenshot of an encrypted conversation, you\u2019ll receive a notification. Of course, you won\u2019t be able to stop them, but at least you\u2019ll know it\u2019s happening. You can also send GIFs, stickers, and reactions. Finally, you can long-press to reply or forward messages in encrypted chats.<\/p>\n

If Messenger is your primary chat app, this is an excellent update for you. Sure, the feature has been available for some time\u00a0for voice and video chats, but now the company is bringing it to all other aspects of its chat app. If you\u2019re not a Messenger user, this might be an update that makes you want to switch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
