Google has introduced a new end-to-end encryption (E2EE) feature in Gmail, enabling organizations to send encrypted emails that even Google cannot read to other Gmail users. Later this year, the feature will be expanded to allow the sending of encrypted emails to any email users, including those from other providers.

Gmail enterprise users will soon get access to a simpler E2EE process, and anyone can receive encrypted emails.

Although the encryption is for business customers, regular consumers on both Gmail and non-Gmail accounts can receive the encrypted emails.
