  If you intentionally obscure a feature, people won’t use it.
  If you make it the default, they will.

    just like they forced reels on everyone by pushing it in the algorithm to later say “see! everyone wants reels now, they don’t want photos anymore!”

  Since when did Instagram support E2E? I didn’t even know, lol.

  It’s really interesting that even with occasional usage of the app not once has this setting been mentioned or brought up for me. Why remove it?
