        It’s great as long as you can guarantee that the person you’re communicating on the receiving side does the same. Otherwise it’s useless as your messages will be read on the receiving device. In practice it will make private communication extremely cumbersome and niche.

        Also, the authorities can backdoor your custom ROM device at will, when seized.

          Steganography. There’s more than one way to protect your communication.

          And encryption in transit is better than no encryption at all (assuming the baddies don’t already have full access to your phone data).

            assuming the baddies don’t already have full access to your phone data

            That’s the whole point of Chat Control 2.0
