Tech Tip – Turn On End-to-End Encrypted Backups in WhatsApp

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.
