Facebook’s Messenger has been very up-to-date lately and it has been doing changes that exceeded the expectation of many people – mostly Filipinos. It started when users can now send GIF photos to their friends, when more than two people can participate in a call, and a lot more. Recently, Facebook just unleashed its latest update which is the secret conversations tab where obviously, it is where secret or hidden conversations can be accessed. So in this article, we will be telling you what the secret conversation feature is and what is it for, how you can access or enable it and how it can benefit you.
Even though messenger is already equipped with security and secrecy, it still is not enough to ensure that everything will be just yours. With this new feature, you can be assured that sensitive topics will not be accessed or read by anyone. The secret conversation works like a one-to-one encryption where the person you’re communicating with can only access this on one device. We are used to switching to different devices and getting messages anywhere, right? Well with secret conversations, it’s not like that.
The testing is also equipped with time-frame where you can set a time for a certain message to expire. Say for example, when you want the message to disappear after an amount of time that your friend saw it, it won’t be available in any data storage anymore.
How do I enable this secret conversation feature?
Before anything else, make sure that your messenger is on its latest update so that it has the secret conversations feature. To enable this, go to your profile in messenger; this is the last tab (on the farthest right side). Scroll down until you see the Secret Conversation and turn it on.
