Facebook has launched 'secret conversations' for its Messenger application, allowing users to opt in for encrypted end-to-end conversations. In addition, both parties in a secret conversation have a device key that they can compare to verify that the messages are end-to-end encrypted. The feature also allows users to set messages to self-destruct anywhere between five seconds to one day. The use of this feature is explained by Facebook on asupport page, where it is noted that secret conversations are currently only available in the Messenger app on iOS and Android (therefore not appearing on Facebook chat or messenger.com).
