Meta continues to improve the experience for end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) conversations on Messenger, its other popular messaging service, which sits above WhatsApp in the US, which at the time became the direct messaging feature integrated into Facebook.
For it, Not only is it adding new features, but E2EE encryption is also going to be randomly expanded to the individual conversations of a larger number of users around the world over the next few months.

Users who have individual E2EE encrypted conversations will receive a notification of this so they know their conversations are completely secure and private.
Meta argues for this random display by noting that:
It’s designed to be random so there’s no negative impact on our infrastructure and people’s chat experience. This also ensures that our new end-to-end encrypted threads continue to give people a fast, reliable, and rich experience on Messenger.
In addition, Meta notes that testing of the default end-to-end encryption for Messenger will also gradually expand.
And with the aim of equate the performance of E2EE encrypted conversations with respect to conventional conversations, so that when the time comes to have E2EE encryption by default, users do not miss anything, now new features are coming.
It’s about the chat topics to allow a greater degree of customization, with a variety of options to choose from, from plain backgrounds to backgrounds with color gradients.
Also, custom chat reactions and emojis are also coming to personalize responses group profile photos to show yourself to others, link previews, active status (which can be turned off) to know when others can get in touch, and bubbles on Android to have conversations with friends while using other apps.
As such, Meta continues to carefully prepare so that end-to-end encryption by default in its Messenger messaging service can be generally available to all users in the future.
