How to protect your communications through encryption

US cybersecurity officials are advising people to use encryption in their communications following a hacking campaign originating in China. Federal authorities released a list of security recommendations for US telecom companies that were targeted, including implementing end-to-end encryption (E2EE). E2EE ensures that messages are only visible to the sender and recipient and can't be unscrambled without the encryption key. For texting, iPhone users can benefit from E2EE through iMessages, while Android users can use Google Messages. Encrypted messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp also provide E2EE for secure communication. Making encrypted voice calls is possible through apps like Signal, WhatsApp, Facetime (for iPhone users), and Google Fi (for Android users).
