"Microsoft triggered a viral furor when it revealed a Teams update to tell your company when you’re not at work. Now Google has done the same. Forget end-to-end encryption. A new Android update means your RCS and SMS texts are no longer private.
As reported by Android Authority, “Google is rolling out Android RCS Archival on Pixel (and other Android) phones, allowing employers to intercept and archive RCS chats on work-managed devices. In simpler terms, your employer will now be able to read your RCS chats in Google Messages despite end-to-end encryption.”
This applies to work-managed devices and doesn’t affect personal devices. And in certain regulated industries it just adds RCS archiving to existing SMS archiving. But employees in regular organizations view texting as different to emailing, especially given the expectations around end-to-end encryption. That’s no longer the case.
This underlines the widespread misunderstanding of end-to-end encryption. The security protects your messages when they’re being sent, but once they’re on your phone, they’re decrypted and available to anyone controlling the device."

Hey #GoogleMessages users (especially on #TeamPixel)! Check for updates. Google looks to have shadow-dropped @mentions today. It overrides mutes, too. The app is starting to feel fully complete. Honestly, what else could this #Android app even add? What features are you still waiting for? #Tech

@nuintari Do you have any recommendations for a #texting app? I'm (unfortunately) still on Google Messages. While the #RCS and text-from-a-web-browser features are nice, it's (1) Google and (2) incredibly bloated. Several hundred MBs for a #SMS app.
The RCS is important because if someone using an iPhone sends me a pic or video, it's pixelated and the audio quality is horrendously reduced.
Fast Company: This messaging mecca integrates Slack, WhatsApp, and Telegram. “The app is called Beeper. It can connect to all the major messaging platforms: Google Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Google Chat, Facebook Messenger, Signal, LinkedIn, X, Discord, and Slack.”
