Meta is removing end-to-end encryption from Instagram DMs on May 8. Official reason: low adoption.
What they're not highlighting: Meta trains AI on platform data and says encrypted messages can't be used for that. Their ad business depends on data signals. Instagram DMs are where creator-brand conversations and purchase intent live.
WhatsApp keeps encryption because privacy is the product. Instagram is a commerce platform. Different calculus.
