Google will be rolling out end-to-end encrypted phone calls for its Fi MVNO call service, the company made the announcement today October 29 2021. This new feature will create lots of privacy as no one will be able to listen to audio calls.

Even Google won’t be able to listen to these calls. It now joins other social media companies with the same functionality such as WhatsApp and FaceTime. Although this is a welcome addition for Google Fi, it seems to be in testing.

Only Andriod to Android calls are encrypted and who are both Google Fi subscribers. This feature isn’t available for iPhone Google Fi subscribers. Also, the new feature doesn’t support conference calls or voicemail.

Google has ended its Meet’s previous unlimited group video calls to an hour for free accounts, the Alphabet-owned company ended support at the end of last month.
