🔐 What’s New?
- Users can now send and receive encrypted emails directly داخل Gmail app
- No need for third-party tools or separate secure portals
- Encryption happens on the client side, before data reaches Google’s servers

- Gmail users receive encrypted emails like normal messages
- Non-Gmail users can securely access emails via a browser
- No additional account creation is required for recipients
