SMS with a small padlock?

Question

Hello,

Hello everyone, I have a quick question, I don't understand, when I send an SMS to a contact in my address book, some have a small padlock and others do not, why is that and how can I remove those small padlocks? I didn't realize at first, there are people who asked me why, but I don’t know, thank you for helping me, it's on my mobile phone, have a good day.

Configuration: Android / Chrome 94.0.4606.85

It's because now, some SMS messages are encrypted for protection... https://www.01net.com/actualites/android-les-conversations-rcs-sont-maintenant-chiffrees-de-bout-en-bout-2044555.html

Hello
Check if the locked Contacts are not Contacts on the SIM card and not in the smartphone's memory, the contact cannot be modified directly.

SIM contacts are limited in character count and quantity, they do not sync with your accounts (Gmail).

This dates back to the "old" phones (non-smart...) that stored data on the SIM.

In the Contacts App settings, you can copy from SIM to Memory and vice versa...

Talk to you later

If the answer helped you: a small thank you is nice. If it's resolved: the green button at the top is better ;-)
