E2E encryption for RCS messages is currently restricted only to direct conversations, so group chats still don’t have encryption. End-end encryption was announced within the Messages app for a select few back in November as part of a Beta phase and Google's finally rolling the feature out to everyone using rich text communication. Google has been planning on adding end-to-end encryption to its next-gen SMS protocol - RCS for sometime now.
