 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.

 Fubara Vows to Redesign Port Harcourt Township and Rebuild Creek Road Market


Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has pledged to rebuild the Creek Road Market in the old Port Harcourt Township into a modern facility, providing traders with a better working environment and giving the city a fresh appearance. 


The governor explained that this initiative is part of his administration’s commitment to fully implement the Urban Renewal Policy, prioritizing the needs of the people. Fubara made the announcement during a visit to the market on Tuesday, where he observed the ongoing trading activities along Creek Road and surrounding streets. 


He emphasized that revitalizing Port Harcourt as a "Garden City" will require transforming it into a livable urban space that ensures sustainable development. However, this goal, he noted, cannot be achieved without properly designating areas for trade. 


Fubara also reflected on the previous administration's decision to relocate traders to No 3 Field during the Creek Road reconstruction, explaining that there was no concrete plan to return them to their original trading site or rebuild the market afterward.


The governor, who was accompanied by key officials including the Commissioners for Housing and Urban Development, as well as the Chairman of the Port Harcourt Township Re-urbanization Committee, stated that the first priority is to provide the traders with a suitable market. This, he said, would allow for the relocation of trading activities from residential areas, thus clearing the way for the town’s beautification.


He expressed regret over the current challenges faced by residents in the process of development but reassured that his administration would take all necessary steps to ensure that the Creek Road traders are relocated to a fitting and proper market.
