But with end-to-end encryption in play, if anyone other than you two tries to hack and read your texts, they’ll just get to see something like ‘10104516546546514654’. The recipient will see this as the way you intended it to. For example, you text someone, “Hey what’s for dinner”. With end-to-end encryption, both the sides of the text messages get converted into a unique code, that can only be deciphered or decoded by the participants of the chat, using that very messenger, and not otherwise.

Internet messengers and even emails are susceptible to spying by the government, and compromising on privacy isn’t something that can be negotiated on. And while it is far more convenient and fun, with the use of images, emojis and so much more, it has also been a victim of being quite insecure. Internet messengers have easily gone ahead and replaced the regular texting that we were so much used to.
