Android and iPhone users can finally send end-to-end encrypted texts. Discover how this new feature enhances privacy and communication between devices.
Major Update in Messaging Security
In a significant move for user privacy, Android and iPhone users can now exchange end-to-end encrypted messages. This feature, which is rolling out in beta, ensures that messages remain secure from hackers and unauthorized surveillance during transit.

- Features like typing indicators and read receipts
- Improved multimedia sharing quality
