![Google working on end-to-end encryption for RCS in Messages app [telecom]](https://forums.cabling-design.com/media/29148/conversions/603502d70c5360.90478107-medium.jpg)

Last December, we reported that Google had completed its rollout of Rich Communication Services (RCS) for the Message app in the U.S. Google had been pushing RCS as a replacement for SMS and MMS, and was able to convince AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and fifty-three other carriers to support RCS. With the U.S. infrastructure in place, Google implemented RCS support in its Messages app for Android. Sadly, RCS is not end-to-end encrypted (E2EE), but Google is working to change that.
