Facebook is reportedly leveling up its Secret Conversation feature. As such, the company’s about to add not only audio messages but also video calls for the privacy-focusing feature. A screenshot leaked recently from an experiment has shown that every call within the Secret Conversation will be end-to-end encrypted on any mobile devices you’re activating.
First launched in 2016, the Secret Conversations started to give users a way to keep their Messenger conversations behind closed doors, ensuring their words will be covered with a layer of privacy. The method Facebook uses for its new function is similar to which of another Facebook-owned platform, WhatsApp.
Just while ago, the tech giant also announced Facebook-wide plans that intend to attach its product line with end-to-end encryption, such as Instagram. Authorities have expressed their concerns over that move, citing that it’ll be harder for criminal investigations regarding a bunch of issues like terrorism and sexual exploitation when those culprits make use of Facebook’s services. Of course, Secret Conversation is an opt-in function.
For those who haven’t tried the feature yet, here’s how you can test it out. Open up your Messenger app > Click on the profile picture > Navigate to Secret Conversations then fire it up. If enabled, only you and a selected recipient are able to access your chat. In addition, you also can choose to set a time limit to make messages disappear after a period of time and set which device will be able to access them. Once it carries out the audio and video calls, your sessions will be well-protected as usual.
