In what way is it encrypted because I believe the answer is that it is not.

SSL or TLS. No way Google would send that in the clear.

It sends SMS. not RCS. Does SMS even support any type of encryption? I’m under the impression it doesn’t.

Edit: I just sent a message from my GV to my regular carrier number and it’s just SMS. Certainly not encrypted.

You're right.
