Tech Tip - Turn On End-to-End Encrypted Backups in WhatsApp
Backing up your chats? Make sure your backups are also encrypted. Otherwise, they could be accessed if your cloud account is compromised.
How to:
– Open WhatsApp and tap 'Settings'.
– Go to 'Chats > Chat Backup > End-to-End Encrypted Backup'.
– Tap 'Turn On' and create a password or use a 64-digit encryption key.
– Save your password safely. If you lose it, you won't be able to restore your backup.
Pro-Tip: Encrypting backups ensures your messages stay private even if someone breaches your cloud storage.
ChatGPT now includes meeting recording, cloud integration and deep research tools, marking its biggest push yet into everyday business workflows.
Microsoft is warning users that saved passwords will soon be deleted from its Authenticator app, as it phases out the feature in favour of Edge and passkeys.
