Every device in an end-to-end encrypted messenger chat has a special key that's used to protect the conversation. Details of how to check keys and why they may change are detailed on fb;

It's also worth checking the spam folder in messenger for message requests and leaving any chats you have unknowingly been added into, don't be too surprised to find you have been added to dozens of chats with names containing  'room full of love', 'live cam', 'private chat' and 'passion room'.
