Facebook to roll out end-to-end encryption on Messenger app

After WhatsApp, Facebook too plans to roll out end-to-end encryption on its Messenger app later this year.

Unlike WhatsApp, which introduced end-to-end encryption last month, Facebook would offer an optional encryption mode, which users would need to opt-in, so as to enable it.

The Guardian further reported that the social media giant would implement end-to-end encryption on its Messenger app at the expense of some of its artificial intelligence features, including its bots.

If the reports turn out to be true, Messenger would be Facebook's first product to receive end-to-end encryption after WhatsApp introduced that extra privacy feature earlier this year. With WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption only the sender and the receiver can read the message sent, and none inbetween, not even WhatsApp.
