WhatsApp iPhone syncs to iCloud unencrypted by default[1].
iMessage also syncs to iCloud unencrypted by default[2].
[1] Depends on you paying for iCloud storage, so that you have space for a full phone backup to occur.
[2] Might be "free" with "iMessage in iCloud", an option to enable separately.
- throwaway290 7mo ago> WhatsApp iPhone syncs to iCloud unencrypted by default[1]. Not true. You must choose to enable it or not when you set up new phone. On mine it does not back up
- monooso 7mo agoIf you must "choose to enable" encryption, that implies it's off by default. If so, GP's statement is accurate.
- simsla 7mo agoChoose to enable backups.
- throwaway290 7mo agoNo, I mean you must select yes or no. can't use WhatsApp until you make a choice yourself.
