 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.

DOLLY PARTON HAS NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR BEYONCÉ'S BOLD REINTERPRETATION OF HER ICONIC 1973 HIT "JOLENE" ON THE COWBOY CARTER ALBUM. (PHOTO).


 Country music legend Dolly Parton has nothing but praise for Beyoncé's bold reinterpretation of her iconic 1973 hit "Jolene" on the Cowboy Carter album. 


In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Parton revealed her genuine reaction to hearing her classic song transformed from a vulnerable plea into a fierce warning.


"I was just honored that she did a completely different take on 'Jolene' than my version of it," Parton shared. She explained the key difference: "Hers was more like, 'Well, you're not getting him, you're not taking him, you're going to go through me to get him.' Mine was more like, 'Please don't take him!' So I loved her interpretation."


The 78-year-old singer-songwriter called Beyoncé "a magnificent artist" and described Cowboy Carter as "really, really good." Parton's involvement in the album goes beyond just her blessing - she appears twice on the record, including as a fictional radio DJ on the track "Dolly P" and in a cameo on "Tyrant."


Parton's gracious response highlights what makes great artistry: the ability to see your work evolve through another artist's vision while maintaining respect for both versions. "As a writer, you like to hear how different people interpret your songs," she noted.
