Facebook Messenger launched an option that allows its users to make voice or video calls with end-to-end encryption, a security feature that only allows call participants to access data.

This call encryption is an optional function that each user can enable if they wish. It offers protection against “hackers”.

Likewise, Facebook Messenger has introduced updated controls for messages that disappear automatically, in which users can now choose more options, so that the content expires between five seconds and 24 hours.

Facebook also announced other new features that will soon come to Messenger, such as end-to-end encryption in group chats, including voice and video calls. This feature will be tested in the coming weeks and will be accompanied by controls to prevent unwanted interactions.

Another new feature is the option to protect Instagram direct messages with end-to-end encryption, which works in a similar way to Messenger chats. This novelty will be tested among a limited group of adult users of the social network in some countries.
