In the past, I’ve heard about how Google can keep records of all your Google phone’s past locations and text messages.

What about RCS messages which supposedly are encrypted from Android to Android? I know that it’s possible that they secretly keep a log behind the scenes, but as far as the regular consumer knows is there any record being kept with regard to the contents of these RCS messages?

    No you cannot. E2EE = end to end encrypted. If it can be decrypted from anywhere other than a sender or recipient (the ends) then it’s not E2EE.

      You are clearly misunderstanding me.

      If the keys are stored server-side, that means it’s stored by either the “sender or recipient”. The server is among those two options.

        I am not misunderstanding you. You just do not understand what E2EE means. Th server is not a sender or a recipient. It is not an “end”.
