WhatsApp Starts Beta Testing End-to-End Encrypted Cloud Backups on Android, iOS: Report
It was recently discovered that WhatsApp is testing end-to-end encrypted cloud backup. According to a report, this change is being rolled out to beta testers on the Android and iOS platforms.
The new update of WhatsApp aims to protect backups stored on Google Drive and iCloud by providing users with encryption options. This process adds an extra layer of security to the message history and media files stored in the WhatsApp backup. The instant messaging application was also found separately. The contact information part of the Android application has been redesigned and may soon be available to beta testers. WABetaInfo, the website tracking the beta version of WhatsApp, reported that Facebook’s messaging app has begun to pass the WhatsApp for iOS beta version 2.21.200.14 to test end-to-end encrypted cloud backups for iPhone users. It is said that WhatsApp has also begun to introduce end-to-end encrypted backup options for selected beta testers through the WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.21.21.5.
Last month, WhatsApp announced end-to-end encrypted cloud backup as an optional feature that allows users to protect their message history and media files available on Google Drive and iCloud. The announcement was made a few months after WhatsApp was found to be testing the feature internally. However, the instant messaging application does not provide a specific timeline for when this option will be available to end users.
By enabling end-to-end encrypted backups, you will be able to protect the content of your messages backed up on WhatsApp from third parties-including Google and Apple, which provide cloud services for storing backups. WhatsApp also claimed that even its team cannot access end-to-end encrypted backup content.
It is important to note that users need to remember the password they used to add a new layer of protection to the backup. If the user forgets the password and loses the phone, the encrypted backup will not be restored. WhatsApp also demonstrated the option of using a 64-bit encryption key to add an end-to-end encryption layer to the backup instead of creating a new password. However, the screenshots shared by WABetaInfo show that beta testers on Android are not yet able to use encryption key support.

Surfaces of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra with Snapdragon 8S Gen 3
Early this week, renders of the Edge 50 Fusion appeared, and Motorola has previously stated that the Edge 50 Pro will ship on April 3. The highest-end smartphone in the Edge 50 series, the Edge 50 Ultra, has now been shown in renders.
The phone is depicted in the renderings in peach fuzz and black with a vegan leather finish, while sisal, a beige color, will have a brushed surface. As opposed to the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 in the Pro variant and the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 in the Edge 50 Fusion, the phone is reportedly powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC.
A 50MP primary camera, an ultra-wide camera, and a periscope telephoto camera with a 5x optical zoom are all included in the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra’s feature set. Additionally, there is a triple LED flash on the right side and a laser autofocus feature above the periscope lens.
Although the phone’s display, battery, and charging specifications are yet unknown, the Edge 50 Pro is said to include 12GB of RAM and support both 50W and 125W wired and wireless charging.
It is anticipated that this will launch as the Motorola X50 Ultra in China. It is unclear if the India launch may be expected on the same day as the rest of the Edge 50 series phones, even if this is scheduled to go official on April 3.
