#End-to-end encryption

Instagram will stop supporting end-to-end encrypted messaging starting May 8. Instagram's help page has revealed that end-to-end encryption messages will not be supported starting May 8. Instagram's end-to-end encrypted messages were launched back in December 2023. Meta announced today that it’s now rolling out end-to-end encryption for personal chats and calls on Facebook and Messenger. End-to-end encryption will be enabled by default as soon as the app gets an upgrade. Disappearing messages arrive in Messenger for end-to-end encrypted conversations which last up to 24 hours. Meta said that they’ve built their end-to-end encryption on strong cryptographic principles—the Signal Protocol and its own novel Labyrinth Protocol. Sunbird, the platform in which Nothing Chats is built upon, is apparently not end-to-end encrypted as promised.
