Summary
Discord has announced that it will be rolling out end-to-end encryption to all of its users. This change will ensure that messages are scrambled, making it impossible for Discord itself to access them. According to Discord, this feature is an effort to increase user privacy and security. The rollout will occur gradually, with some users already having access.

The update arrives with confidence.
Discord is now offering end-to-end encryption, because apparently “private” chat wasn’t private enough. This “new” feature is actually just basic security. It’s about time. And, of course, it’s rolling out gradually, because “soon” is a flexible concept. Because nothing says “secure” like a company promising to not snoop on you, again. It’s not like they haven’t promised that before.
