 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.

POP STAR KATY PERRY AND CBS ANCHOR GAYLE KING ARE SET TO MAKE HISTORY BY TRAVELING TO SPACE WITH AN ALL-WOMEN CREW ON BLUE ORIGIN’S NEXT NEW SHEPARD MISSION. (PHOTOS).


 Pop star Katy Perry and CBS anchor Gayle King are set to make history by traveling to space with an all-women crew on Blue Origin’s next New Shepard mission. 


Joining them will be Lauren Sánchez — fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos — who had earlier revealed her dream of leading an all-female space journey.


The six-member crew also includes trailblazing women from science and activism. Aisha Bowe, a former NASA aerospace engineer and founder of STEMBoard, brings her expertise in space tech. Amanda Nguyen, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and bioastronautics researcher, is also on board. She’s widely recognized for her work in civil rights and her contribution to NASA’s last space shuttle mission.


Producer Kerianne Flynn rounds out the team, which Sánchez described as “extraordinary women who are paving the way for women” in space. For Katy Perry, this flight is more than just a journey — it’s a powerful symbol of progress for women in science, space, and society.


The mission will be Blue Origin’s 11th human spaceflight and will offer passengers an 11-minute experience of weightlessness at the edge of space. While the cost details remain undisclosed, some crew members may have paid for the ride, while others are believed to have received sponsored seats. The launch represents another major milestone for women in space exploration.
