Several updates have been released for the Facebook Messenger app that focus on end-to-end encryption. These updates should improve security and privacy when connecting with friends and family.
How to Enable End-to-End Encryption in Facebook Messenger (2024)
Facebook’s Messenger app now supports end-to-end encryption for group chats and calls, among many other features, thanks to its latest update. While the feature was previously introduced in August 2021, it was only available for one-on-one communications.
In addition to being able to encrypt chats with more people, the update also includes other privacy and security improvements. Screenshot notifications let you know if someone takes a screenshot of your messages, so you can stay informed about what other users might be doing without your knowledge.
You can also reply directly to specific messages in your group conversations, and you can see an indicator when someone is typing. Verified badges are also included in group conversations, so you can see if an account is real.
