Wait so google doesn’t support e2ee for more than two devices in a chat?
- tg180 3y agoThe last time I checked was in 2021 when they launched the feature, and it was only for 1:1 chats. Google might have extended e2ee to group chats (I would hope so). Pretty sure everyone would still have to use Google Messages.
- rezonant 3y agoYes, it does, as long as everyone is using RCS via Google Messages.
- olliej 3y agoOk, it's still absurd to me that RCS or Google Messages weren't E2EE from day 1 given even iMessage was doing E2EE group chats almost 5 years before the RCS "universal" profile was released so its not like they didn't have time. Similarly even when google's message platform did add encryption the fact that it wasn't always on is unconscionable. How does google messages (gMessage?) indicate which messages aren't secure?
