Google announced end-to-end encryption is now available in Android, but only for one-on-one conversations between users of the Messages app.

“No matter who you’re messaging with, the information you share is personal. End-to-end encryption in Messages helps keep your conversations more secure while sending. It ensures that no one can read the content of your messages as they travel between your phone and the phone of the person you’re messaging,” Google said.

The encryption feature has been available for beta testers since late 2020 but is now being rolled into the Android operating system for all users with chat features enabled.
