WhatsApp has revealed a huge secret that shows us the biggest change that will be made in 2021 for the messaging application, and we are talking about an extremely important decision for iPhone and Android. More precisely, those at WhatsApp have decided to finally implement an encryption system for the backups made for the data in their application, something that many people have been asking for for years, and something that will arrive only now, due to the pacts.
WhatsApp was criticized many times due to the fact that it did not offer encryption for the backups made by people, they can be accessed when they are uploaded to iCloud or Google Drive. It doesn't matter if it's about iPhone or Android, those from WhatsApp leave the data accessible for ill-intentioned people, but this is finally changing, a very big security problem of the platform being eliminated.
WhatsApp: Huge SECRET, the most IMPORTANT Change in 2021
WhatsApp will integrate this functionality in both iPhone and Android, and as you can see above, it will be necessary to set a password to make it impossible to access the data from the backup. WhatsApp will first ask us to confirm that we want to set a password for the backup, the phone number being requested to verify that we are doing this, and after that we can set the password, which will be requested when we want to reinstall that backup in phone.
WhatsApp finally implement this functionality to ensure that the data is finally protected as it should be, and it is important to use this functionality. Of course, you must not forget the password you set for the account, and this is because if you forget it, you will not be able to reinstall the backup with your data, and you will need to give it up, so use passwords on which you will not forget.
WhatsApp is working on this change, and will offer it in 2021, but for now it is not very clear when, because it must be thoroughly prepared to be launched.
