Meta indicated it&rsquo;s still considering making E2EE the default in Messenger, but that likely won&rsquo;t happen until next year at the earliest, and it&rsquo;s something that might get a lot of pushback from regulators.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways Messenger users can opt in to use end-to-encryption:<br \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/help\/messenger-app\/880518629146125\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vanish mode<\/a>: <\/strong>Swipe up on an existing chat to enter a new one where messages automatically disappear when the window is closed.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/help\/messenger-app\/1084673321594605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Secret Conversations <\/strong><\/a>(first debuted in 2016): You can turn that on when you start a new chat by toggling the lock icon in the corner.&nbsp;<br \/>When you&rsquo;re in an encrypted chat, you can still use GIFs, stickers, reactions, and long-press to reply or forward messages. Encrypted chats also now support verified badges so that people can identify authentic accounts. And although you can save media exchanged in encrypted chats, a screenshot notification is rolling out in Q1 2022. That means, like with Snapchat, you&rsquo;ll get a notification if someone screenshots your conversation in an encrypted chat.&nbsp;<br \/>End-to-end encryption, when it comes to chats, means only the sender and receiver of any given message will be able to see the contents of said message. It&rsquo;s basically a secure method of communication that prevents cyber-criminals, hackers, telecoms, and even governments from accessing the messages you&rsquo;ve sent or received.&nbsp;In terms of Facebook Messenger, specifically, not only are your direct messages fully encrypted but also your group chats and calls.<br \/>The idea behind end-to-end encryption is that your messages, media, and calls are now secured from falling into the wrong hands.                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"language_message_de-de language_message_de language_message_de\">                                                             <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.pocket-lint.com\/bundles\/pocketlintapp\/flagsbox\/images\/msdropdown\/icons\/blank.gif\" class=\"flag de fnone\">                         Sie k\u00f6nnen diese Seite in Ihrer <br \/> Muttersprache lesen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocket-lint.com\/de-de\/software\/news\/facebook\/159846-facebook-messenger-fuhrt-die-verschlusselung-fur-alle-ein-wie-man-sie-in-chats-aktiviert\">hier<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pocket-lint.com\/apps\/news\/facebook\/159846-facebook-messenger-rolls-out-encryption-to-all-how-to-enable-it-in-chats\">source<\/a><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pocket-lint is supported by its readers.
