Meta continues to improve the experience on its Messenger platform. The company has started expanding global testing of default end-to-end encrypted chats on Messenger to keep conversations private and secure.
The company has said that over the next few months, more people will continue to see some of their chats gradually being “upgraded with an extra layer of protection provided by end-toend encryption”. “We will notify people in these individual chat threads as they are upgraded,” Meta has said.
Meta first tested end-to-end encryption features for Messenger back in 2016 for “secret conversations”, according to TechCrunch, while last January, the company introduced opt-in endto-end encryption for group chats and calls for Messenger.
The other things that have been announced include chat themes to personalise conversations, custom chat emojis and reactions, group profile photos (for different chats with friends or work colleagues) and link previews (you can see where a link is taking you, before clicking on it).
