WhatsApp cannot reset a password or a backup. The messaging platform says users won’t be able to restore their backup if they lose their WhatsApp chats and forget their password or key. You might need to connect to a power source Tap Create, and wait for WhatsApp to prepare your end-to-end encrypted backup. Tap Turn On, then follow the prompts to create a password or keyĤ. WhatsApp often touts its end-to-end encryption capability, and it does prevent message from being intercepted while in transit from sender to receiver. Tap Chats > Chat Backup > End-to-end Encrypted Backupģ. Here’s how you can turn on the end-to-end encrypted backup featureĢ. The new feature is being released gradually, with only users running the latest version of the app able to access it. According to WhatsApp, “no other global messaging service at this scale provides this level of security for their users’ messages, media, voice messages, video calls, and chat backups”. It therefore provides an additional level of security to all text, audio, images and video stored on the Google Drive or Apple’s iCloud.
The feature ensures that even content that is uploaded to the cloud is encrypted, something that wasn’t available before. “Neither WhatsApp nor your backup service provider will be able to read your backups or access the key required to unlock it,” says a post on WhatsApp’s blog.
