 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.

 Abia Governor Alex Otti Clarifies Visit to Detained IPOB Leader Nnamdi Kanu, Denies Political Ambitions


Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has explained that his recent visit to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, was motivated solely by the pursuit of dialogue and peace, and not by any personal political ambitions.


The governor made the clarification on Friday during a courtesy visit by the leadership of the Abia Diaspora Commission and the medical team of the state's Global Medical Mission 2025 at the Government House in Umuahia.


Otti's remarks come amid criticism sparked by a viral video on social media, in which an individual questioned the motives behind his trip to meet Kanu, who is currently serving a life sentence at the Sokoto Correctional Centre following his conviction on terrorism-related charges.


Defending the visit, Governor Otti emphasized that it was aimed at fostering dialogue to promote lasting peace in the region. He described differing opinions as a healthy part of democracy, noting that disagreement does not inherently make one viewpoint correct.


The governor also addressed speculation about his future political plans, reiterating a previous statement he made in October during a meeting with representatives of President Bola Tinubu.


"One of the issues raised in the video was my ambition after serving as governor," Otti said. "I have said this before... and I will say it again today: By the time I complete my tenure as governor, I will retire from public office."


He stressed that he has no intentions of contesting any further elections, including presidential, vice-presidential, or senatorial positions, adding that he plans to step aside to allow younger leaders to emerge.
