Meta is officially nuking end-to-end encryption for Instagram DMs on May 8, 2026. Low user adoption is the excuse, but your private chats will soon be accessible to Meta’s systems.

- **Action Required:** Download your encrypted chat history immediately.
- **Switch Now:** Migrate to WhatsApp for secure, encrypted messaging.

Secure your data before the May deadline hits!
