How to start a secret conversation in Facebook Messenger
Facebook offers various user-friendly features on its Messenger app. One such interesting feature is secret conversation. The Meta-owned platform enables users to have private conversations with their contacts.
What is a secret conversation
A secret conversation in Messenger is encrypted end to end, which means the messages are intended just for you and the other person – not anyone else, including us. Bear in mind that the person you’re messaging could choose to share the conversation with others (e.g. in a screenshot). Both you and the other person in the secret conversation have a device key that you can use to verify that the messages are end-to-end encrypted. You can also set a timer to disappear your messages from the conversation.
