Jakarta (pilar.id) – Since 2016, Facebook has embedded features end-to-end encyption to maintain the privacy of users in the Messenger app. However, setting these features, must be done manually by the user.
Recently, Facebook is doing a trial by installing features end-to-end encryption as default or the default settings in Messenger. So, users no longer need to activate it manually and the security of messages on Messenger can be guaranteed.
Quoting XDA Developers, Friday (12/8/2022), features end-to-end encryption was created to keep conversations in the application safe.
Trial to activate the feature end-to-end encryption will automatically take place in the next few weeks by Facebook.
Some selected users will automatically try out how end-to-end encryption activated when accessing the Messenger service from Facebook.
You could say that in addition to passwords or passwords to secure social network accounts, the “end-to-end encryption” feature becomes the second layer to secure data security and privacy of social network users.
Especially with the increasing number of frauds and data theft from social networks, enabling the “end-to-end encryption” feature becomes useful.
In addition to trying to enable the feature automatically, Facebook is also testing an “end-to-end encryption” feature on accounts that are connected to more than one device.
This means that when you delete a message on the first device, it will also be deleted on the other device.
Not only on the “Messenger” service, Facebook will also test the ability of users to delete messages and reply to messages on Facebook Stories with “end-to-end encryption” capabilities.
By focusing on user security, Facebook will also provide additional layers of security when users recover messages previously recorded in “end-to-end encryption” such as entering a PIN or special access code to get the message.
If this trial is successful, then Facebook plans to release it in stages and will continue until 2023. (fat)
