 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.

 Super Eagles Arrive Safely in Uyo After Tense Flight Delay for World Cup Qualifier


Nigeria’s Super Eagles landed safely at Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo at 8:05 AM today, ending a dramatic 12-hour travel ordeal caused by a technical fault on their flight from South Africa. The team, preparing for a critical 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Benin Republic on Tuesday, was delayed after a mid-air emergency forced their plane to return to Luanda, Angola.


Team media officer Promise Efoghe confirmed the arrival in a statement, saying, “Finally, Super Eagles arrive in Uyo, Akwa Ibom. The team touched down at 8:05 a.m. Sunday morning.” A video released by the team’s media department captured players and officials disembarking from the replacement ValueJet aircraft, marking the resolution of a journey that began late Saturday in Polokwane, South Africa.


The trouble started shortly after takeoff from Luanda, where the aircraft had stopped for refueling following the team’s preparations in South Africa. About 25 minutes into the flight, a loud crack appeared on the windscreen, prompting the pilot to make an emergency U-turn back to Luanda. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) confirmed that all players, officials, and government delegates disembarked safely, crediting the pilot for expertly managing the situation.


The NFF stated that ValueJet Airline collaborated with Nigerian authorities, including the Ministers of Aviation and Foreign Affairs, and the Chief of Staff to the President, to secure permits for a replacement aircraft from Lagos. The new plane successfully completed the trip, bringing the team to Uyo early Sunday.


Coach Eric Chelle’s squad now shifts focus to the upcoming match at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, a pivotal encounter as Nigeria seeks to secure qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a challenging campaign. The safe arrival has eased concerns, allowing the team to prepare for Tuesday’s crucial showdown against Benin Republic.
