Facebook now encrypts Messenger calls

Facebook started encrypting audio and video chats on Messenger on Friday, giving users more privacy. The development follows as the privacy of data on cellphones has become a more contentious issue.

Ruth Kricheli, Messenger's director of product management, stated in a blog post that,"The content of your messages and calls in an end-to-end encrypted conversation is protected from the moment it leaves y
