It's possible all of those promises are about encrypting data at rest on their servers, not on your client device.
The loading message about encrypting your data may have been prepping it for transit, not encrypting on your device's storage.
Keep in mind that the most basic security measure on your Android device is to enable encryption for all of your storage across applications, so your data should be encrypted at rest on your end already.
- XiS 5y agoYes, maybe you're right and I might be expecting too much from these statements made about encrypted data. But for some reason it feels like selling a home safe with no locks saying it's secure because your front door has a lock.
- smt88 5y agoIt's more like telling you that your safe does not need another safe on it when they pack it into their armored truck. OK, that analogy is getting painful, so let me rephrase it: if your Android phone encrypts the data at rest, why would Teams encrypt it again? That would be a performance penalty with no additional security.
