How To Remove End To End Encryption In Messenger

End-to-end encryption is a security feature in Facebook Messenger that helps protect your messages from being intercepted and read by anyone except the sender and receiver. Messages protected with End-to-end encryption are secure on your device before being sent and can only be viewed by the receiver device.

NOTE: Since January 2024, all Messenger conversations have been automatically encrypted by default. This means deleting a conversation just deletes chat messages from the chat list but you can't remove or disable end-to-end encryption from Messenger starting in 2024.

[@YansFlores]

Then how you fix it??

[@exrad2153]

If ALL CONVERSATIONS have been automatically encrypted, then why i have this thing just on 1 conversation, and none other?

[@techunow]

You're right, as of January 2024, all Messenger conversations are encrypted by default. However, there are a few reasons why you might see the "encryption shield" icon or text only on specific chats. 1. You are using an older version of Facebook Messenger. 2. Your friend may used an older version of Messenger. 3. Or there may be a technical problem with your Messenger account. You can wait for some time or contact the Messenger support center for this.@@exrad2153

This makes no sense... literally only 'one' of my contacts have this enabled on my device. None of my other contacts have this end to end encryption activated.

[@techunow]

It seems like there might be some confusion regarding the end-to-end encryption feature in Messenger. End-to-end encryption is automatically applied to all chats for enhanced security and privacy. However, it's possible that some contacts may not have activated the feature on their end or that some users may use an older version of Messenger, which could be why you're seeing differences across your conversations.

[@BeautyWithTiffy]

I don’t have any enabled. I can’t even get a hold of my son right now because I don’t know what this sh!t is

[@BeautyWithTiffy]

So is this encryption message because they got in trouble because other people were breaking into a messengers and translating our messages into different languages?

Dear Author, I have a problem in Android Messenger App that seems to be related to encryption. When I tap on any media file (video, audio, photo, or even URL) in a chat thread the reaction bar pops up but I can't open the file in the chat. I can choose to download the file, but this is complicated and I don't see what's the sense of it. If I do this in a non-encrypted chat I can still open the file there. I guess that would be normal. Any suggestion?

[@techunow]

It sounds like you're experiencing some technical difficulties with the Messenger app on your Android device, particularly related to media files in encrypted chat threads. I suggest updating the Messenger app to the latest version available on the Google Play Store. Additionally, you can also try clearing the cache and data of the Messenger app. This can often resolve various glitches and performance issues.

[@gaborczap]

Any of them does not help. :(

That happened when FB forced install end to encrypted on one of your chat friends, it also has the same problem with mine cannot click on anything it goes to emoji bar. But some of my FB friends chat didn't have encrypted and it worked fine. It is the issue that FB is stupidly doing nothing.

Thanks for reaching out. That's a good question. Unfortunately, as of January 2024, disabling end-to-end encryption for existing chats in Messenger is no longer an option. This applies even if you uninstall and reinstall the app.

[@techunow]

If you have two chat conversations with the same person in Messenger, one with end-to-end encryption and another without, then your friend may have enabled secure conversation with you. However, if you have only one old chat conversation but it now has end-to-end encryption, then Messenger may have automatically enabled end-to-end encryption for one or all of your chats.

I understand your concern. If you're experiencing issues calling or video chatting with friends who are end-to-end encrypted, here are a few steps you can try: 1. Update Messenger the app to latest version. 2. Clear app cache and data. 3. Reinstall the Messenger App. I hope this helps, and you can get back to enjoying seamless calls and video chats! 📞

Hi, thanks for answering questions! My issue with end-to-end encrypted conversations in messenger is that I can't use search function in conversations for keywords. However, with conversations that don't have end to end encryption, I can still fully use this function. Do you know any workaround to be able to use search function? It is really frustrating to be not able to search something from past in conversations.

[@techunow]

The search feature is still available even in end-to-end encrypted conversations. However, it seems like you might be experiencing some issues with it not working properly. Have you tried restarting the app or updating it to see if that resolves the problem? If the search feature is still not functioning for you, it might be worth reaching out to Facebook support for further assistance.

[@kakasvk]

@@techunow @techunow in end to end conversations, it can find only very recent messages, probably after end to end started (and not even that, it doesnt even find many of those after end to end had started), not those from past.

[@nataliepaterson294]

Where has this even come from i have it on a chat and i cant disable it its so annoying

[@techunow]

I understand your frustration about encountering a new feature that you can't disable! Don't worry; if you really don't want to use it, you can use an older version of Messenger. You can find it through a Google search.

[@andreicelpangan4764]

But how about the old conversation if you delete?

[@techunow]

Once the conversation is deleted, it's permanently removed from your Messenger app. Make sure to carefully consider before deleting any important conversations to avoid losing valuable information.

[@keshabgaming9944]

Sir in 2024 is it possible to disable end to end encryption

[@techunow]

Unfortunately, no, you cannot disable end-to-end encryption on Messenger for individual chats in 2024. Messenger rolled out default end-to-end encryption for all direct messages on the platform. This means your messages and calls are automatically encrypted and only accessible to you and the recipient(s), with Facebook and other third parties unable to read them.

[@Thaleya1]

I don't understand how this is helpful at all. I can no longer send messages to many of my friends, because of the end to end encryption. If i want to write to them they are blocked due to end to end encryption it says. So how do i end the end to end encryption so i can write to them again. because right now if i write to them it says sending... and the messages never get sent.

[@techunow]

I understand your frustration, but end-to-end encryption doesn't block you from sending messages to your friends. It actually protects your messages while they travel between your devices, so only you and the recipient can read them. And remember that, since January 2024, you can't disable end-to-end encryption in Messenger, as it's a built-in security feature designed to protect your privacy and data.

[@Thaleya1]

I understand what you are saying and my friends can write to eachother in the encryted end to end chat, BUT I for some reason can't to SOME people, not all. sowhat is that about. it was never an issue before the latest update.

I can't even use "search in conversation" for the encrypted chat!!! What the hell is this???

[@techunow]

I understand your frustration with not finding the "search in conversation" feature for encrypted chats. Hold on, there might be a simple fix! Search in Conversation is still available for encrypted chats, but it's tucked away under a different menu. Here's how to find it: 1. Open the individual profile of the person you're having the encrypted chat with. 2. See the "More Actions" section. 3. You'll find the "Search in Conversation" option right there alongside other settings like "View Media," "Notifications," and "Sounds." If you don't see the "Search in Conversation" option after checking the steps above, there might be a temporary glitch with the app. Here are some troubleshooting tips: 1. Clear the app's cache and data 2. Update the app to the latest version

[@dom1310df]

i delete end to end conversation and when i try create a new chart , the end to end encryption is still there

[@techunow]

Thanks for pointing that out! You're right, since January 2024, all Messenger conversations have been automatically encrypted by default. This means deleting a conversation won't affect the encryption itself. It just deletes chat messages from the chat list but you can't remove or disable end-to-end encryption from Messenger starting in 2024.

[@irenetashos2192]

didn';t work, i'm still end to end ecryped

[@techunow]

Hey there! you can currently delete individual messages or clear the chat history of end-to-end encryption. But you can't turn off end-to-end encrypted messages.

[@techunow]

There's a dedicated section for End-to-End Encrypted (E2E) chats in Messenger. Messages you send in this section are encrypted, meaning only you and the recipient can see them. However, normal messages in other sections are not encrypted in all countries yet. Messenger is currently testing the option to enable E2E for all chats by default. While you can delete E2E messages you've sent, if your friend sends you a message in E2E, you'll receive it in the dedicated section. Otherwise, your regular chats remain unencrypted. To check if a conversation is E2E, look for the lock icon and "End-to-End Encrypted" label at the top of the chat window.

Cant delete conservation i try to delete but it still there

[@techunow]

I understand your frustration! It can be confusing when you try to delete a conversation but it keeps reappearing. Here are some possible reasons why this might be happening and how you can fix it: 1. Sometimes, there can be a delay in syncing your Messenger data across devices. This might lead to a conversation appearing on one device even if you've deleted it on another. Try restarting your device and logging out of and back into Messenger. This can help refresh the data and ensure the deletion is reflected everywhere. 2. Your device might be holding onto cached data that includes the conversation you're trying to delete. Try clearing your Messenger app cache or reinstalling the app entirely. This can help remove any lingering data and ensure the deletion takes effect. I hope this helps!

How to restore end to encrypted chat on messenger

[@techunow]

Unfortunately, Messenger currently doesn't offer a way to directly restore end-to-end encrypted chats once you've removed the encryption. This is because the encryption keys are only stored on the devices involved in the conversation, not on Facebook's servers. If you backed up your chats before removing the encryption, you might be able to restore them from your backup. Back up can be a screenshot or chat.

[@techunow]

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, as of today, Facebook Messenger doesn't offer a way to "cancel" end-to-end encryption or disable it for specific or all conversations. It's a built-in security feature for all Messenger users, designed to keep your messages private and protected. I understand you might not want encryption on Messenger, and I hope Facebook will offer a cancellation option in the future. For now, the only alternative is to delete the specific person's conversation you don't want encrypted. I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but I wanted to be upfront and transparent. If Facebook ever updates Messenger with the ability to turn off or cancel encryption, I'll definitely create a video explaining it and share it with everyone! In the meantime, if you have any other questions about Messenger or privacy settings, don't hesitate to ask. I'm always happy to help!
