Gmail gets end-to-end encryption on Android and iPhones but it is not for everyone

Google has officially expanded its highest level of Gmail security to mobile devices, bringing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to the Gmail app on both Android and iPhone. According to the company, the feature is specifically designed for high-level business users rather than the general public. The update allows authorised users to read and write secure, encrypted emails directly within the familiar Gmail mobile interface, eliminating the need for awkward third-party tools or separate web portals.
