Instagram will remove end‑to‑end encrypted chats on May 8, 2026 🔓.

Without E2EE, private messages could become accessible for data analysis or AI training, raising serious privacy and user‑trust concerns 🤔.

How can it have "removed" this on 8 May 2026, when it's currently 16 March 2026?

@kaffando holy! and no one noticed 😅 I fixed it, I thought I was late with the news and they did it on 8 march so I've wrote "removed" but put the right date (May).

Thanks again ❤️
