Doesn't instagram claim messages are e2e encrypted? How can this work without them having access to all messages?
On device image recognition?
doubt.
They aren't E2EE by default. You have to enable it manually.
Ah okay, thanks, I don't use Instagram.
It is all closed-source anyway, so would not count on this "e2e".
End to end is exactly what it says. It's decrypted at both ends.
E2E encryption means only the sender and recipient should be able to access a message.
Yes, but it’s very hard/impossible to verify if something is e2e or just encrypted. Personally I wouldn’t be surprised if meta had access to the encryption keys
they do, ever since Signal blew up companies started lying about E2EE left and right
Yeah, that's why the comment you initially replied to cast doubt on whether the chats are actually E2E encrypted.
