No, Your iPhone And Android Texts Are Not Secure By Default

Apple and Google have enabled end-to-end encryption for some RCS chats between iPhone and Android users.

The feature is not universally on by default and can still depend on carrier support, app versions, and conversation setup.

As a result, some cross-platform texts may still fall back to unencrypted RCS or SMS.

The update improves privacy, but many users will still need fully encrypted apps like iMessage or WhatsApp for stronger protection.
