Instagram to End Support for End-to-End Encrypted DMs After May 8, 2026

0

Highlights

  • Instagram will discontinue support for end-to-end encrypted direct messages after May 8, 2026.
  • Impacted users will receive instructions to download their encrypted messages and media.
  • Users wanting encrypted communication can continue using WhatsApp, which retains full end-to-end encryption.

Instagram has announced that it will soon discontinue support for end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) direct messages on the platform. In an update published on its support page, the company confirmed that the feature “will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026.”

The change means users who currently rely on encrypted conversations in Instagram DMs will need to save their messages and media before the deadline. Here are more details.

Users Will Be Able to Download Messages and Media

Meta said that people with chats affected by the change will receive instructions on how to download their data before the feature is removed. In a support page update, the company stated, “If you have chats that are impacted by this change, you will see instructions on how you can download any media or messages you may want to keep.”

The company also noted that users running an older version of the Instagram app may need to update it in order to download their encrypted messages or media files.

Instagram’s support documentation does not specify why the company decided to remove end-to-end encrypted DMs. However, in a statement shared with The Verge, a Meta spokesperson said that “very few people” were using the feature on Instagram. The spokesperson added that users who still want to communicate using end-to-end encryption can continue doing so on WhatsApp.

End-to-End Encrypted DMs on Instagram

End-to-end encryption ensures that only the sender and the recipient can access messages or calls within a conversation. Each encrypted chat uses special security keys that participants can compare with each other to verify the connection.

When a message is sent in an end-to-end encrypted chat, it is locked on the sender’s device before being transmitted. The message can only be unlocked on a device that holds the corresponding encryption key. The same security process also applies to audio and video calls.

Because of this system, no one else can read the messages or listen to the calls, not even Meta, unless they have the specific encryption keys associated with that conversation.

Instagram has never rolled out end-to-end encryption to all users globally. Instead, the feature was available only to users in “some areas” and required them to opt in to use it.

Meta’s Changing Approach to Encryption

Meta’s stance on encryption has evolved several times over the past decade. In 2016, the company introduced end-to-end encryption for chats on WhatsApp. Three years later, it announced plans to extend encryption to all conversations across its platforms.

However, in 2021 the company said it would delay broader encryption features until 2023.

The latest decision also comes amid increasing concerns about the spread of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online. By removing end-to-end encryption from Instagram DMs, Meta will be able to scan messages and calls for harmful content.

FAQS

Q1. When will Instagram discontinue end-to-end encrypted DMs?

Answer. Instagram has confirmed that end-to-end encrypted direct messages will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026.

Q2. Can users save their encrypted Instagram chats before the feature is removed?

Answer. Yes. Meta stated that affected users will receive instructions on how to download their messages and media before the feature is discontinued.

Q3. Why is Instagram removing end-to-end encrypted DMs?

Answer. Meta explained that very few people were using the feature on Instagram. Users who want encrypted communication can continue using WhatsApp, which retains full end-to-end encryption.

Apple is reportedly getting closer to launching its long-rumoured foldable smartphone, widely known as the iPhone Fold. According to a new leak, the most anticipated crease-free foldable display to be used in the first foldable iPhone is soon entering the mass production phase. Here are more details.

iPhone Fold Display Production Could Begin in May

Instant Digital’s recent post on Weibo. (Translated via Google Translate

Recent reports have revealed several new details about Apple’s upcoming foldable device. Now, a fresh update from tipster Instant Digital on Weibo suggests that the display panels for the iPhone Fold are expected to begin mass production as early as May.

It has already been confirmed that the panels are being supplied by Samsung, which has been a long-time partner for Apple when it comes to display technology.

This update follows an earlier claim by the same leaker last month that full-scale production of the iPhone Fold itself is expected to begin in July. If accurate, this timeline would align with reports that the foldable iPhone is around six months away from its official launch.

iPhone Fold – Other Recent Leaks

The latest leak arrives shortly after several other reports about the device surfaced earlier this week. A report from Bloomberg suggested that iOS 27 could include special software changes designed to bring iPad-like app functionality to the foldable iPhone.

Additional reports have also discussed the device’s potential hardware specifications including details about 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM to be supplied by Samsung.

Apple’s Crease-Free Foldable Technology

There have been numerous reports suggesting that Apple has been researching foldable display technology for its own devices. However, industry reports indicate that Apple deliberately delayed launching a foldable iPhone until it could achieve a display design that minimises or eliminates the visible crease typically seen on foldable screens.

Back in January at CES 2026, Samsung showcased a prototype featuring its latest foldable display technology. The demonstration offered a preview of what future folding screens might look like and gave an indication of what could be used in Apple’s upcoming device. The technology was also compared side-by-side with earlier foldable displays.

In any case, every new rumour now hints that Apple is finally ready to introduce its first foldable iPhone this year.

FAQs

Q1. When will the iPhone Fold’s crease-free display enter mass production?

Answer. According to leaks, the crease-free foldable display panels are expected to begin mass production in May 2026, with full device production tipped for July.

Q2. Who is supplying the display panels for the iPhone Fold?

Answer. Samsung is confirmed to be supplying the crease-free foldable display panels, continuing its long-standing partnership with Apple on display technology.

Q3. What other features or changes are rumoured for the iPhone Fold?

Answer. Reports suggest iOS 27 may include iPad-like app functionality for the foldable, and the device could feature 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM supplied by Samsung.

Meanwhile, companies such as Apple, Google, and Samsung are still working with batteries around the 5,000mAh.

Anyhow, a new leak now suggests that Honor could take battery capacity to another level with its upcoming Honor X80 GT. If accurate, the smartphone may feature one of the largest batteries ever seen in a mainstream handset.

It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 processor and comes with 8GB or 12GB of RAM, along with storage options of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. It has a 50-megapixel primary camera with optical image stabilisation, along with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies.

It can be expected that the Honor X80 GT will improve upon these specifications.

At the moment, no additional specifications for the Honor X80 GT have been revealed. The company has also not officially confirmed the smartphone or shared any information about its launch timeline.

FAQs

Q1. What is the standout feature of the Honor X80 GT?

Answer. The Honor X80 GT is tipped to include a massive 13,080mAh silicon-carbon battery, one of the largest capacities ever seen in a mainstream smartphone.

Notably, there has been no official communication from Vivo regarding the X500 series yet. As with most early reports, the details should be treated with caution until confirmed by the company.

In a separate development, Qualcomm is also rumoured to be working on two variants of its next-generation flagship processors. The OnePlus 16, for example, is expected to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset.

FAQs

Q1. Will Vivo release the X400 series before the X500 lineup?

Answer. Reports suggest Vivo may skip the X400 series entirely and move directly from the X300 lineup to the X500 series.

Q2. Which processors are expected to power the Vivo X500 series?

Answer. The standard Vivo X500 is tipped to use the MediaTek Dimensity 9600, while the Vivo X500 Pro may feature the more powerful Dimensity 9600 Pro chipset.

Q3. What other upgrades are rumoured for the Vivo X500 series?

Answer. The X500 lineup is expected to include a significant battery upgrade, with capacities reaching around 7,000mAh, much higher than previous Vivo models.

0

Highlights

  • Apple’s first foldable iPhone may feature 12GB LPDDR5X RAM.
  • Leaks suggest 256GB ($2,325), 512GB ($2,645), and 1TB ($2,905) variants with pricing based on the Chinese market but likely similar in the U.S.

Apple’s first foldable smartphone has surfaced in multiple leaks in the last few months but we still don’t have a concrete picture of what’s in store for us. Latest leak comes from a new supply chain report that reveals fresh details about the upcoming iPhone Fold’s RAM, storage configurations, pricing and production plans. Here’s what we know.

Samsung Tipped to Supply 12GB RAM for iPhone Fold

According to a report by the Korea-based publication The Bell, Samsung is likely to supply key internal memory modules for Apple’s foldable iPhone.

Recent reports suggest that Apple’s first foldable device could feature 12GB of RAM. The report also notes that Samsung has negotiated a notable price increase for these memory components.

The price of a 12GB LPDDR5X RAM module has reportedly surged from around $30 to approximately $70 this year. This significant jump is largely attributed to the tightening global memory market, which has been under pressure due to the rapid expansion of AI server infrastructure.

Samsung could begin mass production and shipments of these memory modules in the second quarter of this year. This timeline aligns with Apple’s expected production schedule for a launch in the second half of 2026.

iPhone Fold – Possible Storage Options and Pricing

In a post shared on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, tipster Instant Digital revealed potential storage variants and pricing for the iPhone Fold.

According to the leak, the device could be offered in the following configurations –

  • 256GB – $2,325
  • 512GB – $2,645
  • 1TB – $2,905

These prices are said to be based on the Chinese market and were converted from yuan. Apple often adjusts pricing across different regions, but historically the company has kept pricing in China and the United States relatively similar.

However, the price ladder between the variants raises some questions. If the leak is accurate, upgrading from 256GB to 512GB would cost about $320, while moving from 512GB to 1TB would require an additional $260.

For comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro Max currently starts with 256GB of storage and typically charges $200 for upgrades to 512GB and another $200 to reach 1TB.

Apple Increasing Initial Production Targets

The expected production volume of the iPhone Fold has also been the subject of multiple reports.

Earlier reports suggested that Apple initially planned annual shipments of the foldable iPhone to remain below five percent of total iPhone sales in a typical year. For context, Apple shipped about 247 million iPhones in 2025. Based on that estimate, annual iPhone Fold shipments would have been projected at under 12 million units.

However, Taiwan’s Economic Daily News later reported that Apple had raised its initial inventory target by about 20 percent.

In another related development, a separate Asian publication reported that Samsung Display could supply up to 20 million foldable display panels for the iPhone Fold. This figure represents roughly a 20 percent increase compared to earlier projections of around 13 million to 15 million units.

FAQs

Q1. How much RAM is the iPhone Fold expected to feature?

Answer. Leaks suggest the iPhone Fold will come with 12GB LPDDR5X RAM, supplied primarily by Samsung, aligning with Apple’s production schedule for late 2026.

Q2. What storage options and pricing have been leaked for the iPhone Fold?

Answer. The device may launch in 256GB ($2,325), 512GB ($2,645), and 1TB ($2,905) variants, with pricing based on the Chinese market but likely similar in the U.S.

Q3. What are Apple’s reported production targets for the iPhone Fold?

Answer. Apple is reportedly aiming for up to 20 million units, with Samsung Display supplying foldable panels, marking a significant increase from earlier projections of 13–15 million.
