Google Messages Suddenly Removes 'No Encryption' Icon From iPhone RCS Chats
Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google Messages has removed the icon indicating the lack of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) in RCS chats with Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone users.
Alphabet Inc.（納斯達克：GOOG）（納斯達克：GOOGL）的谷歌信息移除了顯示與蘋果公司（納斯達克：AAPL）iPhone用戶通過RCS聊天中缺乏端到端加密（E2EE）的圖標。
What Happened: As of last week, Google Messages displayed a crossed-out lock icon in Android-iPhone RCS conversations, signifying the absence of E2EE. This was due to Google's unique E2EE implementation for individual and group chats.
發生了什麼：上週，Google Messages 在Android-iPhone RCS對話中顯示了一個帶有一條線的鎖圖標，表示缺乏E2EE，這是由於Google對個人和小組聊天的獨特E2EE實施所引起的。
However, on Tuesday, the crossed-out lock icon was removed from iOS-Android conversations. This change seems to be a server-side adjustment with the recent beta versions of Google Messages, reported 9To5Mac.
然而，上週二，iOS-Android對話中的帶有一條線的鎖圖標被刪除了。報告稱，這一變化似乎是最近谷歌信息測試版的一項服務器端調整。

In the past, the majority of users saw this icon when interacting with Android users who did not use Google Messages as their messaging app.
過去，大多數用戶在與未使用Google Messages作爲其通信應用程序的Android用戶互動時會看到此圖標。
In a way, this highlights the current state of SMS communications. Mentioning the absence of encryption in Android-iOS chats is redundant since end users currently have no way to enable it, the report noted.
在某種程度上，這凸顯了SMS通信的當前狀態。報道指出，提到Android-iOS聊天中缺乏加密是多餘的，因爲終端用戶目前沒有啓用加密的方法。
Why It Matters: Apple has expressed interest in adding encryption to the RCS Universal Profile standard, but it remains uncertain whether this will be implemented by the time iOS 18 is released in the fall. Google is expected to adopt this standardized approach once it becomes available.
爲什麼很重要：蘋果已表達了向RCS Universal Profile標準添加加密的興趣，但目前還不確定在秋季發佈的iOS 18之前是否會實現這一點。一旦標準化方法可用，谷歌有望採用此方法。
Meanwhile, Google Messages is also focusing on improving support and informing users about "cross-platform RCS chats" ahead of the iOS 18 launch, the report noted.
與此同時，據報道，Google Messages還專注於提高支持和在iOS 18推出前通知用戶“跨平台RCS聊天”。
