Meta will incorporate extreme encryption in Messenger
The company began testing this function for Messenger, with which it seeks to create backup copies of conversations
Meta began testing new Messenger features, such as end-to-end encryption by default and the ability to create and store backups of these encrypted conversations.
The end-to-end encryption is a security measure that protects the messages exchanged during a conversation so that they cannot be intercepted by third parties, not even by the messaging platform itself. However, users can give their consent so that it can access said information.
This method is already present in another Meta product, WhatsApp. In Facebook’s messaging app, Messenger, activation of this encryption by the user has been optional since 2017, when it introduced Secret Conversations.
Now, the company has started testing so that point-to-point encryption is activated by default in any conversation on this messaging platform. The first tests have begun this week, according to what the technology company pointed out in a statement on its website.
Secure Storage will be the default way to protect end-to-end encrypted conversation history in Meta, and will be automatically turned on for accounts you are running these tests on.
These, in turn, will be able to continue accessing their message history and will continue to have the option of reporting to the company any of these messages that they consider inappropriate or violate their use policies.
