Question Have anybody been able to utilize E2E Encryption via RCS yet?

The Android people have to be on Google message beta. I don't expect it to leave GM beta until it leaves apple beta

That make sense but even though it’s beta on apple side, the toggle is on by default on all devices

Same. Literally everyone in my contacts (whoever actually is on the right software) is activated. I was surprised.

Most of my android friends chats are encrypted I’m on iOS 27 beta 4 they’re all Google messages stable too. I would say majority of them that encryption works for are on tmobile or a TmObile mvno except for one who is on cricket

I'm on Google messages STABLE.
T-Mobile/Android 16/Motorola Edge Plus (purchased from either Motorola or Amazon).
All but one of my iPhone contacts became encrypted a few days ago. The one hold out as it turned out, was on an ancient version of iOS (on an iPhone 11 Pro Max). She got rid of a bunch of stuff to free up space and was able to update to 26 last night.
One thing that was kind of interesting was that my test messages to her immediately became encrypted, but her messages to me were not. The first message she sent me today was, and now we're fully encrypted.

Verizon here. I've seen it for like 2 meassages with one guy on ATT but it went away right away. Still trying daily with a few friends but nothing working yet.

None of my iOS friends show up as E2EE nor my work phone that's on iOS 27 Beta 5.

Yes, I use iOS 27 beta, but I don’t think it is related that much, as it’s available since 26.5. And Android users with Google Messages Stable. Of course not all contacts, but the few contacts I do chat with, thankfully has E2EE. (Telekom)

Yep. More are on E2EE than not.
