Bullet points taken from article:

  • The latest Google Messages beta supports MLS encryption, RCS’s next step toward E2EE interoperability across apps and platforms.
  • We managed to enable MLS for one-on-one RCS conversations in Google Messages, but we haven’t been able to enable it for RCS group chats yet.
  • This indicates that MLS encryption support could be on the horizon for Google Messages.

Note that Google Messages already does end to end encryption, but there are many cases where this feature doesn't work (such as when communicating with an iPhone).

Very unclear what this actually means. Google Messages already does e2ee for one on one and group chats. Is this a different type of encryption? Are there implications for e2ee for all RCS chats including with iPhone users? Article doesn't say
