Facebook Messenger has gained a number of new features such as end-to-end encryption by default, message correction, sending disappearing messages, checking new read receipts, sending HD photos and videos, and advanced voice messaging.

With the new update, the ability to send end-to-end encrypted messages has become the default. Your end-to-end encrypted messages cannot be seen by anyone, including Meta, unless you choose to report messages.
Making a statement on the subject, Facebook said: “It took years to achieve this because we took our time to get it right. “Our engineers, cryptographers, designers, policy experts, and product managers have worked tirelessly to rebuild Messenger features from the ground up.”
