Facebook CEO Zuckerberg said on Thursday that users can encrypt and backup WhatsApp chat history on Android and iOS. Facebook will slowly roll out this feature to ensure a stable and synchronized experience.
When users enable the new feature, they can encrypt the backup before uploading it to Apple iCloud and Google Drive. After encryption, neither WhatsApp nor the cloud service provider can read the content. If the user loses the 64-bit key, the backup cannot be restored. This requires attention.

As early as 2016, WhatsApp users could encrypt messages when sending messages to each other, but it was not allowed until the beginning of this year to encrypt backups. The statement issued on Thursday means that WhatsApp has reached the final step and can provide users with a complete end-to-end information encryption service.
