 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.

 Minister Umahi Endorses Governor Nwifuru for Second Term, Warns Rivals to Stay Off


On Saturday, September 27, 2025, the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, publicly endorsed Governor Francis Nwifuru for a second term as governor of Ebonyi State during the Ohanivo 2025 New Yam Festival in Onicha Local Government Area.


Umahi issued a stern warning to potential governorship candidates, stating they could only challenge Nwifuru on social media, as physical campaigns against him in Ebonyi would not be tolerated. “If you want to struggle for governor with Nwifuru, you have to do it on social media. You will not come to Ebonyi State to reap where you did not sow,” Umahi declared.


The minister accused some aspirants of exploiting perceived tensions between him and Nwifuru, describing such expectations as misguided. “They thought that father and son will be quarreling so they would reap where they did not sow. It’s a lie,” he said.


Umahi expressed unwavering support for both Nwifuru and President Bola Tinubu, emphasizing their leadership as vital for Ebonyi’s and Nigeria’s progress. “We want to be part of a united Nigeria, we want to be treated fairly, we want to be counted, and the President is doing that. So we have no reason not to support him, we have no reason not to support Governor Francis Nwifuru,” he added.


He concluded with confidence in the continuity of their leadership, stating, “It’s Governor Nwifuru for eight years, Tinubu for eight years, and nothing will stop it because God has said it.” The endorsement underscores Umahi’s strong backing of Nwifuru’s administration as the 2027 elections approach.
