 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.

TWO MEN HAVE BEEN JAILED AFTER LAUNCHING A SUSTAINED AND VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A MAN IN A RESIDENTIAL STREET IN PETERBOROUGH. (PHOTO).


 Two men have been jailed after launching a sustained and violent assault on a man in a residential street in Peterborough.


Audrius Verkauskas, 40, and Aurimas Bekeris, 37, carried out the attack in Gladstone Street at around 9am on 19 December following a confrontation with the victim, who is the former partner of Verkauskas’ girlfriend.


The court heard that a heated exchange began after the pair spotted the man near their home. The confrontation quickly escalated into violence, with Verkauskas and Bekeris subjecting the victim — a man in his 40s — to a prolonged and sustained attack.


Even after initially walking away, the two men returned multiple times to continue beating him. They repeatedly punched and stamped on the victim as he lay motionless on the ground.


Emergency services were called, and the injured man was taken to Peterborough City Hospital for treatment. He suffered a suspected broken nose, including a complex laceration, as well as bruising to his chest.


Both Verkauskas and Bekeris admitted assault causing grievous bodily harm without intent.


At a hearing on Thursday (18 February) at Peterborough Crown Court, the pair were each sentenced to one year and four months in prison.


In addition to their custodial sentences, the court imposed a five-year restraining order prohibiting them from contacting the victim.


The attack, which took place in broad daylight in a residential neighbourhood, has left a lasting impact on the victim and prompted concern among local residents.
