WhatsApp is finally getting end-to-end encryption for chat backups on Google Drive and iCloud. Here's how to use the feature. WhatsApp has offered end-to-end encryption for messages for a few years now. This means that messages sent on the platform are entirely encrypted and cannot be read by anyone in transit.

That is now changing as Facebook has announced that it is rolling out end-to-end encryption for WhatsApp backups stored on iCloud and Google Drive. Why Encrypted Backups Are Important This is an important move from a security viewpoint, especially since content stored on Google Drive and iCloud is not encrypted. End-to-end encryption for backups will be available for WhatsApp users on both iPhone and Android. You can either use a 64-bit encryption key or a password to encrypt the backups. The feature is not enabled by default, so you must manually enable end-to-end encryption for your WhatsApp cloud backups. Nonetheless, doing so will provide you with additional peace of mind since no one will be able to access your WhatsApp backups without the encryption key or password. Just be sure to remember…

Picture this: you begin scrolling on your phone after a long day of classes. You skim through stories on Snapchat, posts on Instagram, rants and dialogues on Twitter and miscellaneous videos on TikTok. Then, you look up and realize it’s dark outside.  It seems like you’ve been mindlessly scrolling for minutes when in reality, you’ve been scrolling for hours. In those hours, you’ve scrolled past Kylie Jenner’s baby bump selfie, Rami Malek hosting Saturday Night Live, the Taliban’s rise to power and updated vaccine information.  If this sounds like something you’ve experienced, don’t be alarmed. Many people are doing the same thing at this very moment.  In fact, I used to be one of those people, until one day all of that information started to get a little overwhelming. Those fun pictures posted by friends, celebrities and people who I don’t even know started to make me feel inadequate about my lifestyle and who I was as a person. I paid less attention to daily news and put a magnifying glass on what specific people were doing, and how they looked doing it. That’s when I decided to take the scary leap.  Yes, I currently don’t have social media juggernauts…
