Facebook Messenger is set to change – for good after all

As of 2019, Facebook has an active user base of 2.38 billion, out of which more than 1.3 billion are using Facebook Messenger app every month. And in an attempt to increase the reach, the social media giant has now announced a bunch of reforms and new features to revamp the app and make it more accessible and entertaining for the users.

At the F8 conference of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg committed to building a “privacy-focussed” social networking platform and announced end-to-end encryption for the Messenger app. The much-needed encryption will come after the company’s image got marred after Facebook multitudinously confirmed the mismanagement of user data.

Apart from that, it is working on “LightSpeed” and bring a lighter and faster version of the app for iOS later this year, which would take up less space and drain less battery. The upgrade will specifically for the iOS users, as there is already a lite version of the app available for the Android users.
