Just a few weeks ago, Facebook's other Facebook messaging application, WhatsApp has announced end-to-end encryption by default for its users.
The other big one communication application του Facebook, ο Messenger, φαίνεται να ετοιμάζει μια αναβάθμιση που θα μπορούσε να προσελκύσει χρήστες που τους ενδιαφέρει η προστασία της ιδιωτικής ζωής.
(Although the goal of the application is probably the one, we have difficulty believing that there are users who are interested in protecting their privacy and using any Facebook platform).
His account Twitter @iOSAppChanges posted some screenshots of “disappearing messages” today as one feature used in the Messenger app for iOS.
In the version of the application shown in the images, it is possible to set the time that your messages will be visible in conversations with other users.

"Disappearing messages will be activated. New messages will disappear from this conversation 15 minutes after being sent,” the Messenger chat window says, apparently after the activation selection.
This move is no surprise. It is a response to the popularity of Telegram messaging application, which now has more than 100 million active users every month, and offers the possibility of disappearing messages. (The same applies to Snapchat.)
