How to enable end-to-end encrypted chat backup on WhatsApp, here’s how – Gearrice

Tech News Desk WhatsApp has a feature that prevents people from accessing users chats through their chat backups. Let us tell you that a feature called Encrypted Chat Backup was announced last year, which has become stronger with end-to-end encryption of WhatsApp chat backup. This is the same encryption technology that the Meta messaging app uses to secure conversations on its platform. Chats are backed up to either Google Drive or Apple iCloud. These chat backups are not protected by any encryption technology and hence are prone to hack or access by hackers. Whereas end-to-end encryption can mitigate this risk by encoding the content in the backup. That is, no one can access it. However, this feature is not enabled by default. WhatsApp users need to enable this functionality to keep their chat backups secure with end-to-end encryption. Users can use a password or a 64-digit encryption code to decrypt the encryption while restoring the last saved WhatsApp chat backup on their Android smartphone or iPhone.

First of all open Settings in WhatsApp. After that go to the Chats sub-section and then go to Chat Backup. Now tap on End-to-End Encrypted Backup option. Now tap on Turn on option and then follow on-screen prompts to generate password. Finally, tap on Create option and then wait for WhatsApp to create your end-to-end encrypted backup. That WhatsApp users will not be able to restore the backup if they forget the password. Also, if you forget the WhatsApp password, it cannot be reset.
