In a world where online privacy is becoming increasingly important, Google is stepping up its game with a brand-new app designed to keep your conversations safe and secure.

I can't imagine anything I talk about with anyone would be of interest but I do know how easily it is to become hacked. So perhaps this is something we all need!

Introducing something they are calling 'Google Chat Encryption.'

It's the latest tool that ensures your messages remain private, no matter what.

Whether you're sending texts, photos, or voice messages, this new feature uses end-to-end encryption, meaning that only you and the person you're chatting with can read the messages—no one else, not even Google.

Is the new Google App easy to use?

I personally always wondered when I would see some messages sent to me that have the 'end-to-end encryption' displayed.

This move is part of Google's ongoing commitment to improving privacy and security for its users.

With so many of us relying on messaging apps for both personal and professional communication, the need for better protection has never been greater.

Google Chat Encryption uses advanced encryption protocols to make sure your chats stay private, even from hackers or other unauthorized third parties.

The new app works seamlessly within Google’s ecosystem, including Gmail and Google Meet, and it's available for both Android and iOS users.

12 Shrewd Email Tactics Hackers Use To Rip You Off

Computer hackers are working full-time nowadays --not only to hold major corporations hostage with ransomware -but they're also hard at work trying to gain access to private computers and personal information of unsuspecting victims. Surrendering access to these schemers could have disastrous consequences, but sometimes it can be difficult to tell what's legitimate and what's not. That's why I'm sharing 12 emails I've personally received that appear to be as bogus as a three-dollar bill.

No doubt, you have received very similar emails in your inbox and wondered if they were legit. A good rule of thumb to follow is when you receive an email from an unverified source - do not, under any circumstance click on anything in the email or download any attachments. That is exactly how hackers can gain instant access to your computer and your information.
