“Google and Apple today announced that testing of encrypted RCS messaging between Android and iPhone is now underway” | Yay, more end-to-end encryption!

Google and Apple today announced that testing of encrypted RCS messaging between Android and iPhone is now underway […] In the iOS Messages app, green bubbles will be prefaced by “Text Message · RCS | [lock icon] Encrypted” at the center of the screen.

On Google Messages, it will be the same lock icon, just like messages to Android users. […] To test, the iPhone must be running iOS 26.4 beta 2, with this available on supported carriers.
