WhatsApp will ask you to remember your password for your encrypted backups piecemeal.
While WhatsApp is close to fulfilling the wish of many of you by giving users the ability to edit their messages, the service does not forget to further increase its security at the same time.
After the continuous, chiffered backups
In 2021, the popular instant messaging service with two billion users will finally allow for incremental backups to be made, either through the use of a password or a numeric keypad entry at each startup. Because of the addition of this feature, neither WhatsApp nor Apple (iCloud) nor Google (Drive) are able to access your backup files or the key needed to delete them.
WhatsApp has a function to remember your password
If you frequently use WhatsApp, you may already be aware that the service allows you to set a reminder for your six-digit verification code during the two-step verification process. Well, starting today, this same functionality will be transferred to all of your encrypted backups. To put it another way, as WABetaInfo informs us, you will soon be prompted to enter the password you have chosen to encrypt your Google Drive and iCloud backups.
This will enable users to remember their password on a regular basis and prevent them from forgetting it when they try to restore their conversation history. With certain owners of Android and iOS devices, the functionality has already begun to be used. In the upcoming weeks, she will be published in more detail.
