Security Update! New feature of Gmail will change the way of sending emails, the risk of hacking will reduce.

Google has released a major security update for its email platform Gmail. Now Gmail’s end-to-end encryption (E2EE) feature will also be available on Android and iOS devices. After this update, users will be able to send, read and manage encrypted emails directly from their mobile app. Earlier, this kind of facility required desktop or third-party tools.

How does this feature work? This new feature of Gmail is based on Client-Side Encryption (CSE). This means that the email is encrypted on the user’s device even before it is sent.

While sending an email, the user simply has to tap on the lock icon and select the ‘Additional Encryption’ option. After this the message will be sent securely and encrypted.

If the receiver also uses Gmail, this email will appear as a normal thread. At the same time, users who do not use Gmail will be able to access it securely through a web browser and will also be able to reply.
