Also S/MIME encryption of the email message body using SSL certificates 
achieves the same end result (i.e. encrypted payload) as GnuPG offers.  For 
GPG you may need a plugin (e.g. enigmail on T'bird) or something similar for 
phone clients, but S/MIME is usually available by default for most email 
clients and platforms.

A word of caution:

Snowden warned us that the end devices do not possess strong enough randomness 
generators to ensure that the encryption they perform cannot be reverse 
engineered.

A recent article shared on this M/L also showed that anything with Intel 
inside® can be deemed as intentionally weakened to enable potential 
interference with our privacy.

Therefore treat your encrypted communications and their content with caution, 
because you don't know how private these may remain in the future.
