How to use Secret Conversations:

 

Step 1: Click on the profile section, which is the person icon on the upper right of the screen. Make sure the Secret Conversations slider is activated.

Step 2: Choose the contact you want to start an encrypted conversation with in messenger. Now click Secret conversation which will bring you to new tab.

Step 3: Now your screen will turn to black theme, and you’re ready to go.

Note: To view an open secret conversation thread just choose it from the list of open message threads on the main screen of the app.

Secret Conversations work almost like regular Facebook messages but not quite. You can send text, emoji, stickers, and pictures; however, gifs, videos, voice calling, and payments are not supported.
