This can be opted into Messenger.End-to-end encrypted messages are secured with a lock and only the sender and recipient have the special key needed to unlock and read them.For added protection, every message sent has its own unique lock and key. No one can intercept the communications.Last week, WhatsApp co-founder and CEO Jan Koum quit reportedly "after clashing with its parent, Facebook, over the popular messaging service's strategy and Facebook's attempts to use its personal data and weaken its encryption".
