Meta said it will introduce default encryption for personal calls and messages through the Messenger app so "no one, including Meta, can see what is being sent or said."
It's a major update to privacy terms reminiscent of Meta's
other app, WhatsApp, CNBC reports.
Messenger boss Loredana Crisan added in an accompanying post
on the company's blog that it will take an indefinite amount of time to encrypt
all conversations.
In 2016, users were given the option to choose whether they
wanted to protect their communications through so-called end-to-end encryption,
and now it will be the default option.
This change was confirmed by the CEO of "Meta", Mark Zuckerberg, with a post on the social network "Facebook" and on that occasion he congratulated the team for a job well done.
