Good news for WhatsApp users. As earlier there was much objection on WhatsApp security features but now WhatsApp may resolve these issues soon. Yes you heared it right. WhatsApp is working on a new feature that users can enable chat password protected. Along with this encrypt their cloud chat backups will also be available. For your information let us share that earlier end-to-end encrypted on chat was enable with only on the Facebook owned platform and the chat backups were prone to be attacked by third parties.
For your information let us share that the feature was spotted on Monday. The screenshots posted reveal how the chat backup encryption will work. The text in the screenshot says, “To prevent unauthorised access to your iCloud Drive backup, you can set a password that will be used to encrypt future backups. This password will be required when you restore from the backup.”
However, it is needed to share that there is no official word or even leaks that reveal the date of this major security update’s rollout. But, it is certain that the security feature will be available on both Android and iOS devices.
