I entirely missed a really important change!
The recent post about on this forum regarding Textexpander Privacy reminded me that Smile did also implement end to end encryption (ref. Textexpander adds encryption at rest), but quite honestly I was somewhat surprised that it wasn’ baked in at launch … but it is therefore something new since its launch.
It also means that some people and organisations who, understandably, had issues with that aspect at lanch might now be in a position to re-evaluate.
