What Does 'Secret Conversation' Mean on Messenger? When you open Messenger, the system automatically creates an end-to-end channel between you and the other user. One would expect to see much fanfare about the feature as with most of its new products but that wasn’t the case: the secret conversations tool was launched quietly.Īvailable to both iOS and Android users, messages sent on the medium are encrypted. You can set group profile photos and see link previews that show you more information about a webpage shared with you.Resonating with the need for its users to have private conversations that aren’t accessible by third parties, Facebook introduced secret conversations to Messenger in 2016. You'll also have access to the full range of emoji reactions that you typically see in normal Messenger chats - plus the ability to customise the quick reaction tray. It wasn't great.īut now, you can set themes, including static colour and gradient ones, to make your E2EE chats look less plain. As soon as you switched to a secret conversation, all customisation options disappeared. Before this update, Messenger didn't offer any way to personalise E2EE chats. This means you can now make your secret conversations look a bit more interesting, and crucially, more like your normal Messenger chats. Meta is introducing a bunch of new features for end-to-end encrypted chats on its Messenger platform, including the ability to use themes, make custom emojis, use reactions, add group profile photos, and more.
