Direct messages

# End-to-end encrypted messages (coming soon)

We're planning an end-to-end encrypted mode for direct conversations.

-   Direct messages today aren't end-to-end encrypted.
-   We've written down the requirements for a future encrypted mode.

We haven't announced a release date.

Direct conversations have their own inbox. This one, with three people, has formatted messages, reactions and a thread.
