Google has expanded Gmail's end-to-end encryption for Workspace users to iOS and Android, allowing mobile users to compose and read encrypted messages natively within the Gmail app for the first time. The feature is part of Gmail's client-side encryption (CSE) offering, which until now was limited to desktop. According to Google's Workspace update , users no longer need to download additional apps or use separate mail portals to handle encrypted email on mobile, and the experience is now built directly into the existing Gmail app on both platforms. Google says encrypted messages can be sent to any recipient regardless of their email provider. If the recipient uses Gmail, the message arrives as a standard email thread. If they use a different provider, they can read and reply via a secure browser interface without needing to install anything. The feature is available now for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. Access requires an Enterprise Plus plan with either the Assured Controls or Assured Controls Plus add-on, which is Google's compliance-oriented tier aimed at enterprise and public sector customers. Admins must first enable Android and iOS clients through the CSE admin interface in the Admin Console before users can access the feature. To encrypt an individual message, users tap the lock icon within a compose window and select "additional encryption" before writing.

The Asus Zenbook A16 is a thin and light Windows notebook aiming to take the portability crown from Apple. Here's how it compares against a similarly-priced MacBook Pro . M5 14-inch MacBook Pro vs Asus Zenbook A16 For our spec-sheet brawl, we're going to put the $1,999 Asus Zenbook A16 against the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5. As much as we would compare the similarly-sized 16-inch MacBook Pro , the other upgrades to the base-spec version pushes it to $2,699, which is a bit too high. To make it a little bit closer in price, we will set the 14-inch MacBook Pro as having an enhanced memory allowance of 24GB or 32GB. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
OpenAI today added a new subscription tier , which the company says is meant to support increasing Codex use. Codex is OpenAI's AI coding agent that's integrated into ChatGPT, and it competes with Anthropic's Claude Code. The new $100/month Pro tier provides 5x more Codex usage than the $20/month ChatGPT Plus plan. OpenAI says that it is best for longer, high-effort Codex sessions. ChatGPT also has a $200 Pro tier with a 20x higher usage allowance, and the $100/month plan is a new middle-tier option. Both the $100 and $200 plans share the "Pro" name. Pro subscribers will have access to all Pro features, including the Pro model and unlimited access to Instant and Thinking models. To celebrate the launch of the new plan, OpenAI is increasing Codex usage for a limited time. Through May 31, customers who subscribe to the $100/month Pro plan will get up to 10x usage of ChatGPT Plus on Codex. In addition to introducing the new plan, OpenAI is "rebalancing" Codex usage in Plus to support more sessions throughout the week, instead of longer sessions in a single day. OpenAI says the ChatGPT Plus plan is the best offer for steady, day-to-day usage of Codex, while the more expensive $100/month plan is a "more accessible" upgrade path for heavier daily use. With the $100 plan, OpenAI has pricing tiers similar to Anthropic. Anthropic has a $20/month Pro plan, a Max 5x plan for $100/month, and a Max 20x plan for $200/month.
