Gmail’s end-to-end encryption for organizations now works across email providers.

With this update, Gmail users with client-side encryption can send E2EE emails to people using other providers, like Outlook. The recipient will receive a notice about the encrypted message, and can view it using a guest Gmail account.

This feature is only available to Google Workspace subscribers with an Enterprise Plus plan.

Pocket Casts turns off the ads for people who paid for old versions.

Last week, we noted that the popular multiplatform podcast app was showing ads to people who’d paid for the mobile version years ago, before subscriptions. Now, a post in its forum says, “We have removed the banner ads, and they will not be displayed to app purchasers in the future.”

From the app store notes:

Banner ads won’t be shown to Plus/Patron subscribers or users with accounts created prior to Sept 2019 – thanks for your support.
