Meta Discontinues End-to-End Encryption For Instagram Direct Messages

Meta has officially ceased support for manual end-to-end encryption (E2EE) within Instagram’s Direct Messages (DMs). As of May 8, the feature is no longer available, and the company has begun the process of deleting encrypted chat histories.
