The desktop app doesn't show a lock key icon in the message bubbles, while the Android app does. I never quite understood why the Android app clutters the interface with that icon since, I assume, _all_ messages are end-to-end encrypted anyway.

- piquadrat 11y agoAh, that makes sense, thanks! Never used the Android app for SMS :)
