HOW TO START END-TO-END ENCRYPTED CHAT ON INSTAGRAM? – This article will teach you how to start an end-to-end encrypted chat on the platform.
An end-to-end encryption (E2EE) adds extra security and protection to your calls and messages in a chat so that only you and whoever you’re talking to can read, see, or hear them.
In addition, the content of your messages and calls in an end-to-end encrypted chat is protected from the moment it leaves your device to the moment it reaches the device of the receiver.
Keep in mind that this feature is only available in selected areas and you can do this using an iPhone or an Android device. Here’s a step-by-step process on how to start an end-to-end encrypted chat on the platform:
The first step is to tap the Message icon in the top right of your Feed and tap the New Message icon in the top right.
Next, you need to either tap a lock icon next to “Start end-to-end-encrypted chat” or switch on the lock icon in the top right or switch on the icon next to “Use end-to-end encryption” whatever is available on your device.
After that, you need to select the people you want to start an end-to-end encrypted chat with or search for their usernames at the top. Tap “Chat” in the top right once done.
You will then see the lock icon on chats that are end-to-end encrypted. Any other conversations you have outside of the end-to-end encrypted chat with the same people will appear as separate chats in your Chats list.
