i am guessing that they just dont really need to pretend to care anymore. e2e messaging was a big marketing push, not ever an ideological thing. i assume they no longer believe the marketing benefits outweigh the downsides.

Probably Whatsapp is next, if it isn't quietly already.

I doubt it, E2E isba huge part of Whatsapp's selling point considering it's exclusively a messaging app. Instagram is primarily a social app with messaging features.

		Normal people don't choose a messaging app based on E2EE but based on whether their friends use it.

And I will be pushing to remove WhatsApp if that’s the case.
