Instagram Encrypted Messages Feature Reportedly Scrapped

Instagram has quietly announced a major change in how direct messages (DMs) are protected. We from the tech world saw buzz grow across forums, news sites, and user chats that Instagram, which once made encrypted messages an optional privacy tool, is now pulling back. This matters. A lot of people use Instagram every day to share photos, talk with friends, or run small business chats. Losing encryption changes how private those conversations really are.
