Google has announced that all group chats with RCS enabled in its Android and Wear OS Messages app now have end-to-end encryption (E2EE) enabled by default. This ensures that only the group participants can read the messages, except for situations where screenshots are shared or phones are shown to others.

Google notes that RCS will now be enabled by default for new and existing users, as long as they haven't previously switched off RCS in their settings. So, maybe make sure that no one in your group has opted out of RCS before you start sharing your most private information.
