    Hi giantbrownguy - we don't have an update on this as the iOS update dropped recently. If we know more we'll let you know but the team is working to implement the feature

I checked my iPhone and it shows end-to-end encryption is enabled. Are your friends on Telus or another carrier? All my friends are on IOS so I can't test it.

Yep, I’m enabled too and my friends (both on Rogers) are up to date. But if you go into a chat and check through the contact icon in there, it shows the chat is not encrypted. 
I have read that it could be Google Messages needs to be updated or Google needs to turn it on due to their standard use of a different encryption protocol but haven’t confirmed. Surprisingly, I haven’t seen anything indicating that any one is using it or having issues.
