It is no secret that WhatsApp chats are end-to-end encrypted, something that WhatsApp keeps telling users whenever there is an issue on the privacy front. But now WhatsApp could introduce encryption for chat backups. Encryption means that nobody can access your private chats, not even WhatsApp. In this case, it means that if you enable this option nobody can access your chat backups either not even WhatsApp and third-party apps involved. For the unversed, WhatsApp lets backup their chats to Google Drive, which is a separate entity. As per Wabetainfo, WhatsApp is testing a feature that would encrypt the chat backup of users. "In the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.21.10.2 beta article, we talked about a new feature under development: end-to-end encrypted backups. End-To-End Encrypted Backups are very safe because they are protected by a private password that prevents unauthorized access to them while on Google Drive,” the report read. The WhatsApp features tracker said that the feature is still not available.
