Twitter is not the only social network that is working<\/a> in it end-to-end encryption<\/strong> for your direct messages. Instagram<\/strong>, owned by Meta, could also implement this security feature in the future with a somewhat curious additional function. The social network, in particular, would allow to set a PIN <\/strong>in the private messages section on the devices chosen by the user.
As revealed by developer and app expert Alessandro Paluzzi, Instagram will display a notice to the user once they begin to deploy end-to-end encryption, detailing, as shown by Paluzzi in a screenshot, It is possible to create a PIN to add extra protection to direct messages<\/strong> on the devices the user chooses.
It is not clear, however, whether the code will need to be applied to access the messages section or whether it will have to be entered individually, that is, in each conversation.

Instagram also warns that the possibility of chatting through end-to-end encryption, something that allows you to prevent third parties \u2014 including Instagram itself \u2014 from seeing the content of the conversation<\/strong>, will be gradually rolled out to more chats. It is not clear, however, whether it will be necessary to activate encryption manually, as could be the case in Twitter's direct messages section.
In addition to Instagram, another service owned by Meta, WhatsApp, is also possible to include a PIN. The messaging app has an option that allows you to create a code that must be entered every time the user accesses it.<\/strong>. This, however, is nothing more than an additional security extra to prevent, for example, anyone who accesses your phone from reading your messages. WhatsApp conversations, remember, are also end-to-end encrypted. <\/p>\n
