This is how this feature works
According to information from Google’s support page, when you send an end-to-end encrypted message, this feature converts your message into scrambled text, which can be decoded with the secret-key. This code is automatically generated on the receiver and sender’s device and no one can break it.
Safety feature will soon be added to Google Chrome
Apart from group messages, the company is also planning to add a new feature to its surfing browser Google Chrome. With its arrival, the browser will automatically block unsafe websites. Apart from this, those platforms will also be banned, which are connected to unsecured websites. For the time being, this feature remains in the testing zone.
It will be rolled out soon. Remind that the company had added a toggle in the settings of Google Chrome. User can turn it on or off. This feature only gives access to secure websites.
