Google made a big announcement, now your Gmail will be as secure as WhatsApp, know how the new feature will work.

Gmail: Google has now brought the facility of end-to-end encryption for Gmail, which will be available to both Android and iOS users. This means that like WhatsApp, now your emails will also be completely secure and no one will be able to read them. After this update, you will not need any external software or app to send secure email and your personal information will reach the receiver directly and securely.

What is end to end encryption?

You can think of end-to-end encryption like a digital lock. This technology ensures that only the sender and the recipient can read your message or email and no one else will be able to open it. Understand this with an example, like you sent a chest full of gold and silver, which is locked and its key is only with the person to whom you have sent that chest. In this way, this system keeps your digital information completely safe.

These users will get this new facility

Google has announced that now Android and iPhone users will also be able to use end-to-end encryption on their Gmail app. After this new update, you will not need any computer or separate software to send secure email. You’ll be able to compose, send, and read completely secure and private emails right from your mobile app.

This facility is for business users

This feature is especially for enterprise users of Google Workspace, who have the option of client-side encryption. To use it, first of all the company administrator will have to activate mobile (Android and iOS) support. Employees or users will be able to take advantage of this secure feature only once the setting is activated by the administrator.
