🎉 WhatsApp is the leading global messaging service to offer *both* end-to-end encrypted messaging and backups on iCloud or Google Drive. 🎉 So you can make sure that bestie’s voice messages and mum’s secret recipe will be safely stored in a place only you can access.

Developing end-to-end encrypted backups was an incredible technical challenge: an entirely new framework for key and cloud storage. With encrypted backups they’re only accessible to you, so that neither WhatsApp nor the backup service provider can access or decrypt the messages.

End-to-end encrypted backups are coming soon to iOS and Android. Keep an eye on this thread for updates! 👀
