 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.

1 MILLION HOUSEHOLDS HAVE BENEFITED FROM FG'S CASH TRANSFER SCHEME- WALE EDUN. (PHOTO).


 1 million households have benefited from FG’s Cash Transfer Scheme – Wale Edun


The Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, has announced that approximately 1 million households have benefited from the federal government’s cash transfer programme since its relaunch. 


Edun disclosed this information during a World Press Conference on Wednesday in Abuja. 


He noted that around 300,000 payments were made in the past week, with about 5 million individuals benefiting from the scheme to date. 


“There are times when what is planned and the timetable that is planned sometimes slip, but the answer is not to now throw out the effort. The answer is not to stop. The answer is to keep going and trying.  


“That was the case with the direct payment for 15 million households covering 75 million people. At first, it didn’t quite go according to plan so there was a pause and now under a much better and technologically strong configuration, payments to individuals have started going out again.  


“Since it was restarted, one million households covering 5 million people, have received the benefits and in the last week alone, 300,000 payments went out,” Edun said.  


In addition, the Minister mentioned the scaling up of payments through technologically aided processes under the new disbursement system. 


“So under the new system, we can expect a scaling up of the payment that Mr. President committed to giving to the poorest and the most vulnerable to help them,” Edun said.
