Messenger chats can be protected using App Lock. In addition, users have more control over contact options via Messenger.
Facebook Messenger with new privacy settings – The most important thing to start with.
Facebook's Messenger is being upgraded. App Lock and additional privacy settings should give users more security and control over the messaging app.
App Lock
Friends or family members just want to quickly borrow the cell phone. Of course not an issue. But just as you pass it on, it occurs to you that one or two chats certainly weren't intended for their eyes.
Such situations can be avoided in the future with the App Lock function on Facebook Messenger. The chats are secured using FaceID or TouchID and are therefore protected from being viewed by others.
The feature is now available for iPhone and iPad and will be coming to Android in the next few months.

More privacy features
The privacy settings area is expanded.
For example, target groups for stories can now be selected here and blocked contacts can also be managed here.
If you no longer want to see posts from different people, they can be muted in these settings.
In the future, it will also be possible to control messenger requests.
Here you can specify who can write to you or call you directly, which contacts are included in the inquiries or who cannot contact you at all. This option is based on that of Instagram.
