Facebook Messenger adds some essential features to its end-to-end encrypted chats

Meta’s Facebook Messenger is getting some new features for its end-to-end encrypted chats today, though these are still entirely optional and opt-in, unlike WhatsApp, also owned by Meta, which uses end-to-end encryption by default. This is an important distinction to keep in mind – in Messenger, you need to specifically go to the menu and open a special end-to-end encrypted chat if you want to.

If you’re the one doing this, you’ll be happy to know that from now on you’re no longer limited to one-on-one chats – end-to-end encrypted group chats and calls (voice and video) are now finally available. So now you have the option (remember, it’s an active choice you need to make) “to connect with your friends and family in a private and secure way,” Meta said.

For messages that disappear from end-to-end encrypted chats, you’ll be notified when someone takes a screenshot. Oh, and GIFs and stickers are finally available for end-to-end encrypted chat, along with reaction, reply, and typing indicators. Additionally, messages can now be forwarded.

Verified account badges will appear in end-to-end encrypted chats, and you can also long-press to save any video or image you receive, and edit, add stickers, doodles, or add a video or photo to it before sending it Text, crop, and edit audio (for video).

Tom Holland to star alongside Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s next, will juggle that with Spider-Man 4 in 2025

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
