The company told the outlet that providing law enforcement and internal training teams with chat data keeps users safe.\n\n***\nRelated Stories\n***\n\n- [Meta rolls out Facebook scam warnings](https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/meta-rolls-out-scam-protection-warnings-to-facebook-instagram)\n- [Meta can read your WhatsApp messages, lawsuit alleges](https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/meta-read-whatsapp-messages-privacy-lawsuit)\n- [Instagram to alert parents when teens search for suicide](https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/instagram-teen-suicide-parent-warnings)\n- [The top 10 most-followed Instagram accounts](https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/most-followed-instagram-accounts)\n\nFor users who still want end-to-end encryption, Meta's spokesperson says to turn to WhatsApp — but the Meta-owned messaging service isn't [entirely safe from intrusions](https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/meta-read-whatsapp-messages-privacy-lawsuit), either.

Credit: Matthias Balk / Contributor / picture alliance via Getty Images Meta is pulling its end-to-end encryption option on Instagram DMs. The company announced the change in an update to its support page and via alerts to users in the app, writing: End-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026. If you have chats that are impacted by this change, you will see instructions on how you can download any media or messages you may want to keep. If you're on an older version of Instagram, you may also need to update the app before you can download your affected chats. Meta spokesperson Dina El-Kassaby Luce told The Verge that the company was discontinuing the feature because "very few people" were using it. With end-to-end encryption enabled for both users, DMs and calls aren't visible to outside actors, including Meta, unless they're shared. Meta and other tech leaders have come under fire for turning over user communications to outside entities, including law enforcement. But they have also received flak for offering end-to-end encryption to users across the board, with some critics saying that the feature enables child predators to target and communicate with minors undetected. TikTok, for example, does not offer end-to-end encryption for user DMs and explained to the BBC that the decision is the result of numerous safety considerations. The company told the outlet that providing law enforcement and internal training teams with chat data keeps users safe. For users who still want end-to-end encryption, Meta's spokesperson says to turn to WhatsApp — but the Meta-owned messaging service isn't entirely safe from intrusions , either. Meta says end-to-end encryption will still be available on Messenger.

And the good news is, Apple makes it relatively easy to get that screengrab, with plenty of straightforward options. Total Time - 1 min What You Need - MacOS Step 1: Step 1 If you need to take a screenshot of your entire screen, simply hit the command, shift, and number 3 keys simultaneously. Your Mac will capture a shot of your entire screen and save it to your desktop. Step 2: Step 2 Want to take a screenshot of a specific area of your screen instead? Hit the command, shift, and number 4 keys simultaneously. A crosshair cursor will appear, allowing you to drag and select the portion of your Mac screen you want to grab. You can reposition the selection window by holding down the spacebar key. Alternatively, hold down the shift key to lock in the sides of the selection area while being able to position the selection window from one side only. Step 3: Step 3 Let go of the cursor and Mac will automatically take a screenshot of that selected area. Here’s a simple guide for getting the job done.

Credit: Matthias Balk / Contributor / picture alliance via Getty Images * [Meta](https://mashable.com/category/meta) is pulling its [end-to-end encryption](https://mashable.com/article/what-is-end-to-end-encryption-e2e) option on Instagram DMs. The company announced the change in an [update to its support page](https://help.instagram.com/491565145294150/?helpref=uf_share "(opens in a new window)") and via alerts to users in the app, writing: > End-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026. > > If you have chats that are impacted by this change, you will see instructions on how you can download any media or messages you may want to keep. > > If you're on an older version of Instagram, you may also need to update the app before you can download your affected chats. Meta spokesperson Dina El-Kassaby Luce told [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/tech/894752/instagram-end-to-end-encryption "(opens in a new window)") that the company was discontinuing the feature because "very few people" were using it. With end-to-end encryption enabled for both users, DMs and calls aren't visible to outside actors, including Meta, unless they're shared. SEE ALSO: [Child safety group blasts YouTube for million dollar gamble on AI content for kids](https://mashable.com/article/google-youtube-animaji-ai-kids-videos) Meta and other tech leaders have come under fire for turning over user communications to outside entities, including law enforcement. But they have also received flak for offering end-to-end encryption to users across the board, with some critics saying that the feature enables child predators to target and communicate with minors undetected. TikTok, for example, [does not offer end-to-end encryption](https://mashable.com/article/tiktok-encryption-dms) for user DMs and explained to the BBC that the decision is the result of numerous safety considerations. The company told the outlet that providing law enforcement and internal training teams with chat data keeps users safe. * Related Stories * - [Meta rolls out Facebook scam warnings](https://mashable.com/article/meta-rolls-out-scam-protection-warnings-to-facebook-instagram) - [Meta can read your WhatsApp messages, lawsuit alleges](https://mashable.com/article/meta-read-whatsapp-messages-privacy-lawsuit) - [Instagram to alert parents when teens search for suicide](https://mashable.com/article/instagram-teen-suicide-parent-warnings) - [The top 10 most-followed Instagram accounts](https://mashable.com/article/most-followed-instagram-accounts) For users who still want end-to-end encryption, Meta's spokesperson says to turn to WhatsApp — but the Meta-owned messaging service isn't [entirely safe from intrusions](https://mashable.com/article/meta-read-whatsapp-messages-privacy-lawsuit), either.

Credit: Matthias Balk / Contributor / picture alliance via Getty Images [Meta](https://mashable.com/category/meta) is pulling its [end-to-end encryption](https://mashable.com/article/what-is-end-to-end-encryption-e2e) option on Instagram DMs. The company announced the change in an [update to its support page](https://help.instagram.com/491565145294150/?helpref=uf_share "(opens in a new window)") and via alerts to users in the app, writing: > End-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026. > > If you have chats that are impacted by this change, you will see instructions on how you can download any media or messages you may want to keep. > > If you're on an older version of Instagram, you may also need to update the app before you can download your affected chats. Meta spokesperson Dina El-Kassaby Luce told [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/tech/894752/instagram-end-to-end-encryption "(opens in a new window)") that the company was discontinuing the feature because "very few people" were using it. With end-to-end encryption enabled for both users, DMs and calls aren't visible to outside actors, including Meta, unless they're shared. Meta and other tech leaders have come under fire for turning over user communications to outside entities, including law enforcement. But they have also received flak for offering end-to-end encryption to users across the board, with some critics saying that the feature enables child predators to target and communicate with minors undetected. TikTok, for example, [does not offer end-to-end encryption](https://mashable.com/article/tiktok-encryption-dms) for user DMs and explained to the BBC that the decision is the result of numerous safety considerations. The company told the outlet that providing law enforcement and internal training teams with chat data keeps users safe. For users who still want end-to-end encryption, Meta's spokesperson says to turn to WhatsApp — but the Meta-owned messaging service isn't [entirely safe from intrusions](https://mashable.com/article/meta-read-whatsapp-messages-privacy-lawsuit), either. Meta says end-to-end encryption will still be available on Messenger. ![Chase sits in front of a green framed window, wearing a cheetah print shirt and looking to her right.
