    Google is adding a new app to company-managed Pixel phones, which allows IT admins to see all the RCS messages sent and received on specific devices.

    Honestly I thought this was a thing already. Never assume that your company owned phone is private, never ever access your personal account on your work device.

      The thing is, RCS messages are supposed to be encrypted.

      And while I agree with you about the assumption that the company can see what you see on the hardware they provide, and there is no expectation of privacy due to that, I do not understand why Google would expect non-corp RCS messages to be assumed encrypted and therefore private if this exists.
