⚠JUST IN: Apple and Google pushed out the beta for E2EE (End-to-end encrypted) RCS messaging.

Starting the 11th of May, Apple and Google released an update for their latest default messaging apps, which now include end-to-end encrypted RCS (Rich Communication Services) chats between iPhone and Android users.

This update applies for iPhone users, who are running the latest iOS (26.5) and Android users who have the most recent patch of Google Messages. Both parties have to be clients of respective carriers, that provide the service.

Update enables encryption by default, if the requirements are met and is enforced on every new chat made.
