 Meta to end end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages Meta is ending end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages, a feature the company says will no longer be available after May 8, 2026. Unlike WhatsApp, Instagram never offered encryption to all users or as a default; only select users in certain regions could opt in on a per-chat basis. A Meta spokesperson explained that the decision comes due to low adoption. “Very few people were opting in to end-to-end encrypted messaging in DMs, so we’re removing this option from Instagram in the coming months,” the spokesperson said. “Anyone who wants to keep messaging with end-to-end encryption can easily do that on WhatsApp.” Meta’s messaging strategy has shifted multiple times over the years. WhatsApp chats have been encrypted since 2016, and the company began rolling out default encryption for Messenger in 2023.

 ISWAP’s Grim Ultimatum: ‘Leave Or Die’ warning sends shockwaves through Borno communities


Tensions rise in Borno State as the Islamic State – West Africa Province (ISWAP) delivers a chilling ultimatum to residents of Kukawa Local Government Area (LGA), warning them to vacate their communities or face death.


This comes mere days after the brutal killing of fifteen fishermen in the Tumbun Rogo community by the same terrorist group.


A resident, speaking on condition of anonymity, disclosed to Channels Television that ISWAP militants assembled residents from various communities in the early hours of Thursday, delivering the stark ultimatum: evacuate their homes by Saturday or meet a deadly fate.


Prompted by the threat, communities swiftly began fleeing, seeking refuge in neighboring areas such as Kross Kauwa and Monguno.


Kukawa LGA, situated near Lake Chad, is renowned for its fishing, farming, and agricultural activities, despite being plagued by insurgent attacks.


Under the administration of Professor Babagana Zulum, efforts were made to resettle communities like Kross Kauwa, Baga, Doron-Baga, Kukawa, and Tumbun Rogo, aiming to restore peace and stability.


However, the persistent attacks by Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists underscore the enduring threat to the region’s socioeconomic fabric.


With the area’s strategic importance to insurgents for sustenance and financial backing, the cycle of violence persists despite efforts to rebuild and rejuvenate affected communities.


The plight of residents hangs in the balance as the specter of terror casts a dark shadow over their lives.


Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
