Furthermore, Facebook will start testing end-to-end encryption for group chats, including voice and video calls, though these initial tests will be run on friends and family that already have an existing chat thread or are already connected.

All of Facebook's 900 million Messenger users can now have secret conversations that can be set to self-destruct. Facebook began testing end-to-end encryption on its Messenger app in July and has now completed the rollout.
Facebook has begun testing default end-to-end encryption (E2EE) on Messenger. Parent company Meta Thursday announced that the test begins this week with chats between a small group of users. It will be automatically enabled for the selected users. Any new messages or calls between the people of the test group will be end-to-end encrypted by default.
Security and privacy have become two of the main worries of the new virtual world. Meta, the new name of Mark Zuckerberg's company, has been working on end-to-end encryption system for Facebook Messenger and Instagram platforms and has just reported that finally this protection will not be ready until 2023.
It seems the Meta developers have finally answered the call for screenshot notifications on the popular Messaging app. But, it only works if you put your messages in Vanish Mode. Vanish Mode has the same interface as standard messages, but it's more privacy-focused than regular chats. For example, messages will disappear when the recipient reads them and minimizes the chat. Unfortunately, this only works on the Messenger app for mobile devices so, you can't get screenshot alerts on the browser version.Here's how to use Vanish Mode and get screenshot notifications:Open the Messenger app on your iPhone or Android. Then tap on a conversation.Swipe up from the bottom of the screen.Hold your screen until the Vanish Mode circle completes.Now, you will see that your chat has changed to Vanish Mode.Now, when someone takes a screenshot, you will see the notification at the bottom of the chat.As stated previously, Vanish Mode will not stop screenshots. But, it will let you know when someone captures an image of your chat. When you want to use the regular Chat again, tap Turn off Vanish Mode at the top of the screen.Now that you know how to get screenshot notifications, let's review some vital security tips to prevent private conversation leaks.", "url": " -someone-screenshots-facebook-messenger/#step1" }, "@type": "HowToStep", "name": "Enable End-To-End Encryption", "image": " -content/uploads/2021/01/Screenshot-18.png", "text": "Meta is making great strides to compete with other communication apps.
