 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.

 Troops of OPHK Repel ISWAP Attack, Neutralize Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device and Recover Logistics


Troops of Operation HADIN KAI (OPHK) have successfully repelled a coordinated attack by ISWAP terrorists on troops conducting stabilisation operations in Mairari, delivering a decisive blow to the group’s offensive capability in the area in the late hours of 12 December 2025 uptill this morning.


During the failed attack, terrorists attempted to breach the base using 2 Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs). Both VBIEDs were promptly detected and neutralised by the dogged troops, preventing any penetration of the base. Observations from CCTV footage confirmed that several terrorists were killed and others sustained serious injuries, with surviving elements seen evacuating their dead and wounded from the scene.


Following the failed assault, troops of Sector 3 OPHK/MNJTF, supported by the Theatre Command Quick Reaction Group, Nigeria Police Crack Team, and Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF), conducted a thorough exploitation of the area in the early hours of 13 December 2025. The exploitation led to the discovery of multiple terrorist corpses and a cache of weapons, ammunition, and logistics abandoned during the terrorists’ hasty withdrawal.


Items recovered include AK-47 rifles, magazines and ammunition,  belts of PKT rounds, hand grenades, motorcycles, communication devices, combat gear, medical and sustainment items, and other materials indicative of sustained terrorist operations. These recoveries further degrade the operational capacity of the terrorists and deny them freedom of action within the area.


Notably, the 2 neutralised VBIEDs were destroyed by OPHK defensive fire system, resulting in significant damage to the road at 2 separate points. However, no breach of the FOB was recorded, underscoring the preparedness and resilience of the troops.


Troops are currently dominating the general area with aggressive fighting patrols to forestall further terrorist activity and reassure local communities of continued security presence.


Troops of OPHK remain resolute in their commitment to decisively defeat all terrorist elements and restore lasting peace and stability across the North East region.
