The security of user data has recently been in the sights of application producers more than ever before. This is partly to blame for the FBI's feud with Applem, which in turn threw this issue into public discussion. It was not so long ago that Whatsapp they came up with the idea that all conversations would be protected encryption content. Last week, though, information surfaced that John McAfee this encryption broke through, but it was probably just another one of his ducks. However, recently he also comes up with the idea of encrypted writing Facebook with their Messengerem, which is used by hundreds of millions of people around the world.
Applications Facebook Messenger is used by over 900 million users, according to the company's data. The English Guardian came up with the information, allegedly brought to them by a source close to the development MessengerThe company is planning to introduce an optional communication encryption option. This will allow users to choose, as according to the developer, users will lose some features if they activate this security feature.
Users will therefore have the choice of whether they want the encrypted content of their messages and at the same time accept limited add-on features, or, on the contrary, leave everything as it is and be able to enjoy the new features that we have for you. Messenger is preparing. These are mainly "self-learning" functions, text completion during input and the "chat bot". In my personal opinion, these are not such great features that one should sacrifice the level of security for them.

In addition to the already mentioned Whatsapp a Facebook Messengeru, Apple also strengthens the level of security in its iMessageGoogle is also preparing an Allo app. Facebook has not officially commented on the subject, but a release is expected in the coming months.
