 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.

 Captain Ibrahim Traoré has demanded answers from CAF after Burkina Faso lost a World Cup playoff spot to Nigeria

Burkina Faso’s leader, Ibrahim Traoré, has demanded an explanation from the country’s Football Federation and the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after his country narrowly missed out on a World Cup playoff spot to Nigeria.


The controversy erupted after Burkina Faso’s 3–1 win over Ethiopia, which they believed had secured their qualification. However, CAF’s decision to discount points earned against the lowest-ranked team in each group — a rule applied after Eritrea’s withdrawal — altered the standings. The adjustment favoured Nigeria, who had only drawn twice with Zimbabwe, the bottom team in their group. The ruling reportedly left Traoré furious and seeking clarity.


According to reports, Traoré has requested a detailed breakdown of how the qualification process was calculated, especially after Burkina Faso’s strong finish to their campaign. The Stallions had been forced to play earlier qualifiers away from home while their Stade du 4 Août underwent renovations to meet CAF standards. Upon returning to their home ground, they secured key victories — only to be informed later that Nigeria had advanced instead.
