What is end-to-end encryption that Instagram has ended?
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a secure communication method that encrypts data before it is transferred to another endpoint. It converts readable plaintext into unreadable ciphertext using cryptography, allowing messages to be read only by the sender and recipient. This ensures that third parties cannot access the content during transmission. Meta has ended E2EE support on Instagram.
