Instagram is testing End-to-End Encryption!

Instagram has started testing a feature that will delight its users in the field of security. The social media giant is the 6th most popular social network in the world with 1 billion monthly users. That’s why it tries to provide a better and up-to-date experience to its users by bringing new features frequently. It turned out that the social media platform has started testing the End-to-End Encryption feature on some of its users. So what is the Instagram End-to-End Encryption feature and what will be the details? Let’s take a look at the news together.

The social media giant cares about the safe experience of its users!

User @hammodoh1, who often shares about social media platforms, shared on his Twitter account that Instagram is testing the End-to-End Encryption feature. However, the user did not provide more information about when this feature will come or its details.

In the image shared by the Twitter user, it seems that End-to-End Encryption is located in the Chat Settings section of Instagram. End-to-End Encryption is a system that two parties use mutually. The messages of the accounts using this system cannot be read or listened to by anyone, including the platform they are on.

Instagram recently changed the interface of the message box. Additionally, it started testing a new feature called Broadcast Chats. This feature, as the name suggests, will allow people to broadcast live with only their voices, without images. Broadcast Chats are similar to the Space feature on Twitter.

Instant messaging application WhatsApp also introduced the End-to-End Encryption feature to its users in 2016. This function is especially preferred by users who care about privacy.
