WhatsApp is developing an independent cloud backup service that will let users store backups on WhatsApp's own servers with a free 2 GB tier and a potential low-cost premium 50 GB option; pricing and limits are preliminary. The feature will enforce mandatory end-to-end encryption for stored backups, offering passkeys (hardware-backed biometrics), traditional passwords, or a 64-digit recovery key, and will rollout to beta testers after internal testing.
