Last Updated:
Privacy concerns are common in online chatting, but Facebook Messenger’s secret conversation feature removes this problem. With this feature, the chat is end-to-end encrypted, that is, only the sender and the recipient of the message can read it, not even the meta. In this, there is also an option to automatically delete the message after a fixed time. This feature only works on the Messenger app (Android and iOS) and the chat remains visible on the device from which it was initiated, keeping your conversations completely secure.
Whenever you talk to someone through the app, many times a doubt comes in your mind that your chat might get leaked or someone else might read your chat. Not only you, everyone is worried about privacy. Different apps have features to increase security. There is a special feature in Facebook Messenger which is called Secret Conversation. This chat is completely end-to-end encrypted, meaning only you and the person you are talking to can read the messages. Even Meta Company can’t see. This feature is great for privacy, especially when you want to talk about something personal or important.
In this secret chat, you can also delete messages by setting a timer. Like it gets automatically deleted after 5 seconds, 1 minute or 1 day. There is a special key on both sides of the device with which you can check whether the chat is really encrypted or not. This feature only works in the Messenger app, on both Android and iOS. It is not visible on Facebook chat or messenger.com. The chat is visible only on the phone from where it is started and on the phone of the other person from where it is opened.
How to start a secret conversation?
- The steps are the same for both Android and iOS. First of all open the Messenger app.
- Then click on the home icon.
- Then tap on the ‘+’ icon at the top.
- Now a lock icon will appear in the top right, click on it.
- After that, select the friend or contact with whom you want to talk. After this the chat will start.
- If you want, you can set a timer by tapping the clock icon in the text box so that the messages disappear themselves.
Secret mode increases security
This feature is very easy and best for increasing privacy. But it is important to keep some things in mind. This chat happens only in the mobile app, not in the computer or web version. If you login from another phone then the old secret chat will not be visible. Additionally, video or audio calls can also be made in secret mode. If a lock icon appears in the chat, then understand that encryption is on.
Facebook Messenger has provided this feature for years and it is still working. In just a few steps your chat will become completely private. This small tip can keep your things safe.
