In April this year, WhatsApp- Facebook owned
messaging app introduced an end-to-end
encryption which make you secure during
conversions without any third-party interfering or
viewing your private chat either by Facebook or
any government.
According to The Guardian, Facebook is planning
to roll out end-to-end encryption on its messenger
app -"Facebook Messenger" later this year but this
time it will be an opt-in features, what this means
is that you will have to decide to use the feature or
not depending on your choice.
Facebook Messenger users will be presented with
the option to either end-to-end encrypt their
messages or get a smarter messaging chat.
Though Engineers at both Google and Facebook
predict that messenger users will rather prefer to
opt-in to a smarter chat option than a private one.
But not every one will agree though. Do you agree
to that?
Having said that, When an End-to-end is turned
on, only people on either side of the of the
conversations that can decrypt messages, which
means neither authorities or Facebook will be able
to decipher them.
So an end-to-end encrypted Facebook messenger
or a smarter chat messenger which one will you
opt-in for?
