WhatsApp is one of the chat apps available on iPhone and Android that offers end-to-end encryption. That means that all instant messages, voice calls, and video calls are protected from snooping. Only the parties involved in a chat have access to the messages and contents exchanged on the platform. But WhatsApp backups are not encrypted with the same strong security.
WhatsApp users can back up their data and store it on clouds that don’t belong to Facebook. But anyone with access to them can also access the contents. At least, that used to be the case. Facebook has rolled out end-to-end encryption for WhatsApp backups. The feature adds another layer of privacy and security to your instant messaging experience.
