 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.

INDIAN FIGHTER JET CRASHES DURING DEMONSTRATION AT DUBAI AIR SHOW . (PHOTO).


Indian fighter jet crashes during demonstration at Dubai Air Show 

 A combat aircraft from India crashed Friday during a demonstration at the Dubai Air Show.

The Indian HAL Tejas, a lightweight, single-engine fighter used by the Indian Air Force, went down around 2:10 p.m. local time while performing for spectators. Officials have not confirmed whether the pilot ejected or if there were any injuries.

Black smoke was seen rising above Al Maktoum International Airport at Dubai World Central, prompting emergency sirens as onlookers watched the incident unfold. The airport is hosting the biennial Dubai Air Show, an event known for major aircraft deals by carriers such as Emirates and FlyDubai.

The Tejas is India’s indigenous fighter jet, produced by state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). The aircraft is intended to strengthen India’s fighter fleet amid China’s expanding military influence in South Asia, including closer ties with Pakistan.

In September, India’s Defense Ministry signed a contract with HAL for 97 Tejas jets, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2027. This follows a 2021 deal for 83 aircraft, which faced delays due to a shortage of engines imported from the United States.
