<\/p>\n

\tGoogle appeared poised to block some Android users from accessing its Messages app, a move apparently related to a push to employ end-to-end encryption [1] for the service.<\/p>\n

9to5Google spotted code in a beta version of the app stating Messages will \u201cstop working on uncertified devices\u201d on 31 March.<\/p>\n

If executed, 9to5Google noted the move would likely impact a small number of users, notably those with Huawei devices released after US trade restrictions [2] prevented it accessing Google\u2019s services.<\/p>\n

On a support website, Google said it vets and certifies devices from manufacturers which preload its services to \u201censure they are secure and ready to run apps from Google and the Play Store\u201d. Uncertified devices \u201cmay not be secure and may not function properly\u201d.<\/p>\n

Huawei\u2019s Mate 30 [3] was the first to launch without Google services, though executives said at the time they could be side loaded from another device.<\/p>\n

9to5Google speculated the clampdown was tied to Google\u2019s push to deploy end-to-end encryption on Messages, noting the company would not be able to guarantee uncertified devices are secure.<\/p>\n
