Instagram quietly removed its optional end-to-end encrypted chats… then introduced disappearing messages, vanish mode, and temporary photos. But here’s the thing many people are missing: disappearing does NOT mean secure. In this post, we break down what end-to-end encryption actually was, why temporary chats can create a false sense of privacy, and how to better protect yourself online in a world where “private” and “temporary” are no longer the same thing.
