    Everyone would use it if that’s just the only way it worked. I don’t need to turn e2ee in Signal on. It’s always on. There’s no way to turn it off. So, everyone uses it. The only reason to make people jump through hoops to turn it on is if you don’t actually want people using it.

    You had to manually turn it on. It was buried in settings, and it created 2 separate chats. Of course nobody used it. I only found out about it a month ago

    If you intentionally obscure a feature, people won’t use it.
    If you make it the default, they will.

      It’s the default on Messenger so I’m not sure why it wasn’t made the default on Instagram.

      just like they forced reels on everyone by pushing it in the algorithm to later say “see! everyone wants reels now, they don’t want photos anymore!”

        If people thought TikToks invasion of privacy was bad, wait until they realize how bad meta products are

          Most people just think whatever the media tells them to think, and the media is owned by the ruling class

    I‘m surprised they even had that. The average Instagram user probably doesn‘t even know what that means.

    It’s really interesting that even with occasional usage of the app not once has this setting been mentioned or brought up for me. Why remove it?

      Zuckerborg still needs to learn about humanity, so he needs every data available downloaded into his android brain.
