Video Transcript:
By default, as part of Facebook Messenger's end-to-end encryption, a secure storage feature is enabled. The secure storage feature saves your end-to-end encrypted messages so that you can access your chat history on other devices. If you're not comfortable with the secure storage feature, or if you don't like the fact that it will mean Facebook Messenger takes up more of your device's storage space, you can easily turn secure storage off. To be clear, when you turn off the secure storage feature in Facebook Messenger, you won't be able to restore your end-to-end encrypted chat history if you replace your device, and your end-to-end encrypted messages will only be stored on your device.

Step 1. Open the Facebook Messenger app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device. You'll land on your Facebook Messenger home screen.

Step 2. Tap the "Menu" icon at the top of the screen to open a menu, and then tap the "Settings" icon at the top of this menu. The Facebook Messenger settings menu opens.

Step 3. Tap "Privacy and Safety" in this menu. The Privacy and Safety screen is displayed.

Step 4. Navigate to the Security section, and then tap "End-to-End Encrypted Chats." The associated screen is displayed.

Step 5. Tap "Message Storage." The Message Storage screen is shown.

Step 6. Navigate to the Manage Secure Storage section, and then tap "Turn Off Secure Storage." A window pops up asking if you want to turn off secure storage, and letting you know that any new end-to-end encrypted messages won't be backed up remotely.

Step 7. Tap "Continue." Secure Storage will be turned off in Facebook Messenger on this device.
