Pushbullet gets new update with end-to-end encryption

Pushbullet has received a new update in the Play Store. Users will be glad to know, the update brings a major enhancement to privacy. Notification mirroring, universal copy and paste and SMS will now be encrypted on both ends. Information sent through Pushbullet is now kept private and your data is only visible to you. The update won’t bring any changes to features in the app and everything will remain untouched.

Here’s how to enable it:

1. Download the update on all of your devices. Note: the update is currently only available to Android, Chrome and PC users. iOS and Mac availability will be rolled out in the coming weeks alongside support for other browsers.
2. Open up the app and setup a password on each device. This can be done in settings under end-to-end encryption. The password is used in order to derive a key that’s used to encrypt all the data. The password won’t be viewed by anyone except for yourself.

It’s as easy as that! Your data will now be encrypted on both ends meaning your information will be encrypted before it ever leaves your device, and isn’t decrypted until after it’s received on your other device.
