Facebook has an**unced that the rollout of cryptographic features for its massively popular Messenger chat service has completed, bringing end-to-end encryption to the largest messaging network in existence.
Back in July, the social network company said it was testing the privacy feature (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/07/08/facebook-messenger-testing-end-to-end-encryption/) on a limited basis which would eventually be rolled out to all 900 million users of the app. On Tuesday, Facebook told Wired (https://www.wired.com/2016/10/facebook-completely-encrypted-messenger-update-**w/) that rollout had finished.

Messenger **w implements the same highly regarded cryptographic Signal Protocol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_Protocol) that the company's WhatsApp platform uses to encrypt messages, but the Messenger app needs to be updated and the feature turned on for it to work.
A new "Secret Conversations" option can **w be found at the top-right of the app's New Message screen, provided that users have enabled the option from the Me profile settings screen.
The encryption protocol covers one-to-one text chats and stickers used within threads, but does **t currently support the use of videos and GIFs.
Messenger users who update the app will also get to use a new Snapchat-style option that erases messages after a specified duration.
Messenger (http://appshopper.com/social-networking/facebook-messenger-2) is free on the App Store (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/app-store/) [Direct Link (https://itunes.apple.com/app/messenger/id454638411?mt=8)] for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
