Yeah, I’m sure that’s the real reason. And all the convenience for spying on users to collect data for targeted advertising is just a side effect.
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
Since when did Instagram support E2E? I didn’t even know, lol.

Next, WhatsApp loses this “rarely used” feature also
I‘m surprised they even had that. The average Instagram user probably doesn‘t even know what that means.
-
it was encrypted?
-
it had to be activated?!?
They’d never make it default when it costs them a thousanth of a penny per message.
-
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?
No point supporting it if no one uses it.
I think I phrased it wrong. I meant more like why don’t they at least try to promote the feature instead of just outright removing it? Feels like they never gave it a fair chance.
