Backing up your chats? Make sure your backups are also encrypted. Otherwise, they could be accessed if your cloud account is compromised.
How to:
– Open WhatsApp and tap ‘Settings’.
– Go to ‘Chats > Chat Backup > End-to-End Encrypted Backup’.
– Tap ‘Turn On’ and create a password or use a 64-digit encryption key.
– Save your password safely. If you lose it, you won’t be able to restore your backup.
Pro-Tip: Encrypting backups ensures your messages stay private even if someone breaches your cloud storage.
They are always on hand to help, especially outside of normal working hours to help lessen the disruption to our users.
