Whatsapp is rolling out new features for Android beta users. WhatsApp now independently encrypts your backups in the cloud and this feature is visible in the 2.21.15.5 Android beta update. The new version of WhatsApp lets you store all your chats on Google drive.
How does the encryption work?
- All your chats will be protected with a password, so you will have to create a password using which you will be able to access all your chats.
- If you forget the password, then WhatsApp won’t be able to restore your chat history.
- WaBetaInfo asserted that “this password is private and it’s not shared with WhatsApp, Facebook, Google or Apple.”
- WhatsApp has added a feature called HD Photos, which allows you to choose the quality of the photos that you want to share with your contacts.
