Meta to test end-to-end encryption for Messenger

On Thursday, Meta revealed that it is testing end-to-end encryption for specific chats on its Messenger application. In order to enable customers to backup end-to-end encrypted chats, the tech giant is exploring safe storage for Messenger. "We're also starting a test of automatic end-to-end encrypted chat threads on Messenger and expanding other features," said the company on their official website. As with end-to-end encrypted chats, secure storage means that we won’t have access to your messages, unless you choose to report them to us,” reads the website. The history of users' end-to-end encrypted chats on Messenger will be safeguarded by secure storage by default, but they'll have a variety of alternatives for restoring messages if the users wish to do so.
