WhatsApp adds support for end-to-end encrypted backups on Android, iOS

WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption and its general emphasis on security are one of the USPs of the application. However, earlier this year, the integration of WhatsApp with Google Drive or iCloud has recently received attention because the backups that instant messaging tools will adopt and store on these cloud-based platforms do not enjoy the same encryption protection as chats. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, WhatsApp announced that it will provide end-to-end encrypted backups for its users.

This feature is finally live today, and will soon be rolled out on iOS and Android devices with new updates. WhatsApp called the move “the last step in providing a complete end-to-end encrypted messaging experience.” The company stated in a post: “With end-to-end encrypted backups, no other messaging service on the WhatsApp scale will provide this level of security for people’s messages-from sending and transmitting to receiving and storing in In the clouds.”

“For many years, we have been providing people with the ability to back up WhatsApp chat history so that they can restore WhatsApp if they lose or change their phones. We are now rolling out an option for iOS and Android users to create end-to-end encrypted backups for Users who need it provide additional security protection. If someone chooses to back up their chat history with end-to-end encryption, only they can access it, and no one can unlock their backup, not even WhatsApp. WhatsApp and backup service providers (Such as Apple) are unable to access their end-to-end encryption keys or end-to-end encrypted backups,” WhatsApp added.

“You can now use a password of your choice or a 64-bit encryption key that only you knows to protect your end-to-end encrypted backup. Neither WhatsApp nor your backup service provider can read your backup or access the password required to unlock it. Key,” the company added.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
