Google Messages end-to-end encryption for RCS messages coming soon

It looks like Google is finally serious about strengthening the security of its message app. New report says the rich communication service (or RCS) on the platform could soon get end-to-end encryption support. This has been spotted by folks at 9to5Google who have found possible clues that refer to use of encryption in the Google Messages v6.2 build.

Google Messages rival iMessage and Signal already offer stringent encryption norms. And there’s no reason for Google to not deploy it for its RCS-enabled platform.

And it’s likely that users will be given the choice to enable the encryption themselves.

Earlier this year, two new features were rolled out for the Messages app. This includes the Verified SMS feature and Google Spam protection. Since it’s a server-side update, it will take a while for the new functionality to reach everyone. The app can also automatically detect unwanted text messages to check if they’re spam. If it’s not, users can ‘train’ the feature to work better by tapping on either one of the ‘Report spam’ or ‘Report not spam’ options.
