🛡️ Meta to Permanently Remove End-to-End Encryption Feature in Instagram DMs Source: cybersecuritynews.com/instagram-end-… Meta has confirmed it will permanently remove end-to-end encryption (E2EE) support from Instagram direct messages, with the feature officially shutting down after May 8, 2026. The announcement, quietly posted on Instagram's Help Center support page, marks a significant reversal from Meta's earlier commitment to privacy-focused messaging across its platforms. Users currently using encrypted chats will receive in-app notifications prompting them to download their messages and any shared media before the May 8 deadline. Meta has not publicly clarified whether encrypted chats will be permanently deleted after the cutoff date, leaving users who relied on the feature for sensitive communications in uncertainty. #cybersecuritynews #instagram
