Meta Platforms announced yesterday, Wednesday, that it has begun full encryption of all personal conversations and calls on Messenger and Facebook. The giant social media company explained that the full encryption feature will be available to users immediately, but it may take some time until all Messenger accounts are updated with end-to-end encryption to be in the settings. Meta stated that the Messenger program previously had the option to turn on the end-to-end encryption feature, allowing messages to be read by the sender and recipient only, but with this change, messages will be automatically encrypted.

Meta, whose WhatsApp platform already encrypts messages, said the feature might help protect users from hacking, scammers and criminals.
