After WhatsApp, Facebook is also planning to roll out end-to-end encryption on its Messenger app later this year. Unlike WhatsApp which imposed end-to-end encryption last month, it will be an optional encryption mode which users need to opt-in, in order to enable it.
According to The Guardian, the social media giant would implement end-to-end encryption on its Messenger app at the expense of some of its artificial intelligence features, including its bots.
Along with Facebook, Google is also planning to increase security for its upcoming messaging app Allo.
