Google has finally started to roll out the beta of Magic Compose, its new Messages feature that uses AI[2] to help you write text messages. However, as pointed out by Android Police[3], the feature comes with a pretty big caveat: it
will send up to “20 previous messages” to Google’s servers to generate suggestions — even if you’re using RCS with end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
Google outlines these conditions on its Magic Compose support page[4], noting that it will send these messages, along with any included emoji, reactions, and

I've seen semi-serious joking that emails will look like this in the
