    Anyone know if Google Voice is encrypted? I can read copies of my texts online so I’m thinking no. I’ve felt like the service has outlived its usefulness for me and that would be the final straw.

      I just sent a test message from my GV to my normal carrier number. It’s regular old SMS. No, not encrypted.

      Yes it almost certainly is, though how they manage who can decrypt is another story

      Nope sorry Google Voice is not encrypted, dunno why I thought it was

            It sends SMS. not RCS. Does SMS even support any type of encryption? I’m under the impression it doesn’t.

            Edit: I just sent a message from my GV to my regular carrier number and it’s just SMS. Certainly not encrypted.

              Damnit I was thinking of the wrong Google product.

              You’re right.

      I see no reason to believe that it is.

      I find it useful when outside the USA to be able to communicate with American luddites who refuse to install messaging apps.
