Google implemented a new change that allows employers to access workers� text messages on company-managed Android devices.

� Employers can now read SMS and RCS messages sent or received on devices under enterprise management.

� This includes messages that were previously protected by end-to-end encryption.

� Companies gain the ability to review message content the same way they monitor corporate emails or internal apps.

� The update reduces privacy expectations for employees using work-issued phones.

� Google clarified the access applies only to employer-managed devices.

� Personal devices are not affected.
