After introducing end-to-end encryption in mobile chats last year, WhatsApp has quietly added new security features to its iCloud backup feature.
The iCloud backup encryption has been a feature for some time but it has come out in the open only now, Forbes reported on Tuesday. The messages and chats in iCloud backups are uploaded on Apple servers.
"Without any fanfare, it added a unique encryption key created by the WhatsApp app, rather than just relying on the iCloud Drive to protect customer data," the report added.
