Get ready to revolutionize your texting experience! Google is rolling out an innovative way for you to confirm the legitimacy of your contacts with a brand-new QR code verification system for text messages.

According to reports from 9to5Google, this exciting feature is currently in beta testing and promises to enhance your communication's security like never before.

Say Goodbye to Confusing Codes!

If you’ve ever struggled to verify end-to-end encryption using an 80-digit code, you’re not alone. Now, verifying that your contact is who they claim to be just got a whole lot easier. With Google's new QR code feature, you'll simply access Google Messages, tap on the contact's name, and view their details to either display your QR code or scan theirs.

Why This Matters!

Google emphasizes that this method ensures that only you and your contact can read the RCS messages sent back and forth, keeping your conversations secure.

A Unified Verification System!

Originally announced last October, Google is building a comprehensive system for public key verification that expands beyond just messaging. Whether you use QR codes or number comparisons, this feature aims to make digital communication safer across various apps.

The new QR code verification will be available for all Android devices running Android 9 and newer. It's part of Google’s ongoing commitment to enhancing user security and trust in digital communications.
