He added that it would take time for the company to encrypt all Messenger chats end-to-end, and that the company relies on several “cryptographic principles” to shape its strategy, including one it developed in-house and another used by a popular company. encrypted messaging app Signal.
Since 2016, Messenger users have been able to choose or enable the protection of their chats through a process called end-to-end encryption, which encrypts people’s communications so that third parties cannot access or eavesdrop on that data.
