Given that it's Google, are you sure they do true end to end encryption. I would be shocked if they don't have access to the contents of your messages.

- londons_explore 4y agoThey do the same as Whatsapp. Ie. it is proper end to end encryption. Encryption keys can be verified manually. But there is no way to know the app doesn't secretly send the key to the server (although a disassembly of the app could catch them red handed if this were the case). The big loophole is: * The messages can be forced to be sent unencrypted if one or other end of the connection doesn't have data connectivity. * The conversation backups are cleartext, so if either you or the other party has backups enabled, the e2e encryption is kinda pointless.
