US technology giant company, Google has been rolling the end-to-end encryption feature to everyone using rich text communication within the Messages app.

According to ANI, the company has been planning on adding end-to-end encryption to its next-gen SMS protocol – RCS for some time now.

End-end encryption was announced with the Messages app for a select few backs in November as part of a Beta phase and Google’s finally rolling out the feature to everyone using the rich text communication.

However, few restrictions have been reported like, the feature for the Rich Communication Services (RCS) messages is currently restricted only to direct conversations, so group chats still don’t have the encryption.

The encryption will only work if both parties in the conversation are using Google’s default Android Messages app and have the RCS chat feature enabled.

Recently, Google announced a wider rollout of this new feature alongside several other updates for Android users through an official blog post, “Messages app users are getting a feature that lets you star mark messages for future reference – just like the star email feature on Gmail.”
