Today the end-to-end scrambled informing framework takes off to everybody. If you're worried about your protection, it's your obligation to utilize it. 

Secret Conversations implies that the sender and one to receive can see messages - there is no degree of interference by Facebook or anyone or anything else.

There's additionally a vital self-destructing informing alternative, but there's one glaring issue.

However, there is another drawback in here. The messages do not sync across devices. So these secret messages won't show up if you are using a phone in one hand and a PC on the other. It would be interesting to see if Facebook does anything about it in the future.
