WhatsApp users can be sure of the safety of their private data as WhatsApp provides end-to-end encryption for all personal messages that are sent and received to ensure that only the user and his partner can tread or listen to them.
With the new end-to-end encrypted backup, users can also add that same layer of protection to their iCloud and Google Drive backups.
To activate end-to-end encrypted backup
1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Chats > Chat Backup > End-to-end Encrypted Backup.
