More users can chat privately on Facebook Messenger now as Meta expands default end-to-end encryption rollout

Meta is expanding the purview of default end-to-end encryption on Facebook Messenger so more users can chat privately on the messaging platform. The Mark Zuckerberg-led company has been testing default end-to-end encryption on Messenger, which is different from the existing encryption it offers to users on a per chat basis, for some time and it is— now—expanding the rollout. The announcement was made through a blog post on Monday.
