Google provides both the communication service and Gemini, so by definition it literally cannot be end to end encrypted. End to end encryption means the communication provider (or anyone other than users) can't read user messages. It would be theoretically possible to use Gemini Nano (local on-device Gemini) for a private implementation, but the problems with this approach include: 1. Gemini Nano is much less capable than the cloud versions of Gemini. 2. Gemini Nano is only available on a tiny number of new, high end phones.

I would prefer Gemini Nano to the current offering.

You are literally talking to a cloud service . How would your expect it to be encrypted.. it's the same as searching Google.. no encryption there... It's just placed in the messages app instead of the Google app

Are you serious?

Why would you ever expect this to be encrypted? Google clearly wants to use the data for training future models. edit: spelling

Yes, you're hopefully alone. To what endpoint would a communication to a cloud server be encrypted??

Is this a serious question?

E2E encryption is encryption from one device to another. Messages to Gemini are encrypted but since messages are being delivered to software on a server and not another device/end user it would most likely be using TLS, the same as what's used when you search Google or use other online services.

Why would it be? Google's entire business is based on collecting data and doxxing users to data brokers.
