WhatsApp does not stop with the major surprises that are prepared for all the phones of people around the world, and now we are talking about one of the most important that is prepared to be offered. More precisely, after a very long waiting period, WhatsApp has now started to activate for users of the beta version of the application for Android the function that allows the encryption of the backups that we make on our phones.
WhatsApp has so far avoided allowing us to encrypt the backups we upload to iCloud, or Google Drive, from iPhone and Android phones, but things are finally changing for the better. In this idea, those at WhatsApp decided that it would be time to activate this new and important functionality in Android phones so that people can safely transfer their backups to the cloud without them being intercepted by anyone.
WhatsApp: Important HIDDEN Change, what you need to know
WhatsApp displays a message in its interface for backups when this system will become active for phones, so that we know that we benefit from its traces in the devices. WhatsApp allows us to choose between a password and a 64-bit encryption key, so we can decide how to protect the backups that are encrypted and transferred within the Google Drive and iCloud cloud services, where they will not could be downloaded by anyone.
WhatsApp will also have a special interface that will give us explanations about how this backup encryption system will work, so we will have a very clear idea about everything. Those at WhatsApp are trying to explain all these changes to us in advance so that we know exactly what we will receive when we activate the new functionality, and there are quite a few very good surprises for everyone during this period.
WhatsApp has other major changes that it will release for everyone, so we just have to wait and see how much better the news will be for everyone.
