Meta and Facebook have long promised the arrival of end -to -end encryption in Messenger and Instagram.You will still have to be patient.

Encryption in Messenger and Instagram, we talked about it when Meta was still Facebook.Shortly before summer, Facebook announced that he had more time needed to work on this expected function to effectively compete with other email services.

While the function was expected for 2022 after this postponement, the newspaper The Guardian was able to learn that Meta was preparing a launch for 2023.

Do not protect criminals

The British newspaper makes the link between encryption and a campaign concerning the protection of children.The fear is indeed that encryption in Messenger and Instagram would allow criminals to escape the different detection systems.

Antigone Davis, responsible for the safety of Meta products, explained this delay.

He also explains that the service will always be able to detect crime problems, even with encrypted conversations.Indeed, certain data such as account information will not be encrypted and META may use it for analysis.

Recall that certain META services already offer figures.This is the case of WhatsApp, but also vocal and video calls on Messenger.

If you are the user of these services, you will therefore have to be very patient to obtain the encryption of conversations.
