Google rolls out end-to-end encryption for Gmail on mobile for the first time

Google rolls out end-to-end encryption for Gmail on mobile for the first time

Google has made end-to-end encryption available for Gmail on Android and iOS, letting enterprise users compose and read encrypted emails directly in the mobile app without third-party tools. Recipients without the Gmail app can still read encrypted messages through a web browser, and senders can encrypt emails to anyone regardless of their email provider. The feature requires Enterprise Plus licences and keeps encryption keys outside Google's servers to meet regulatory requirements.
