We’ll be testing a feature similar to what exists on Instagram and WhatsApp that blurs images in your message requests folder.
We’re also exploring more ways to protect your privacy and safety when someone you don’t know sends you a message. This will be similar to the work we have partnered with Instagram on, and we’ll share more details when we start testing these controls. We hear you and for the first time, we’re working on new controls, so you can decide who can message or call you directly, who goes to your requests folder, and who can’t message or call you at all. People tell us that they want more controls over their inbox and calls. We’re always working to give you more control over your privacy, so as we introduce more privacy features, you’ll have this centralized place to find them.Ĭoming Soon: Controls for Who Can Reach You App Lock and the Privacy section let you tailor your experiences and choose settings that work best for you. The Privacy section makes it easy to access settings and features like the audience for your stories, muted stories and blocked people. You can find this feature in the new Privacy settings section. The feature is available today on iPhone and iPad and will come to Android in the next few months. This optional feature gives you the confidence to know that if a friend or family member needs to borrow your phone, they won’t be able to access your chats.Īpp Lock uses your device’s privacy settings like fingerprint or face authentication to unlock the Messenger app, and your touch or face ID is not transmitted to or stored by Facebook. New Privacy Features: App Lock and Privacy SettingsĪpp Lock lets you add another layer of security to your private messages and helps prevent other people from accessing them. Today, we’re announcing new privacy and security features that give you more control. Privacy is at the heart of Messenger – where you can be yourself with the people who matter most to you, whether that’s through a message, video chat, call or a Messenger Room.
