WhatsApp is developing a first-party cloud backup service that will default to end-to-end encryption, use passkey-based biometric authentication for restores, and offer dedicated storage tiers (including a free 2 GB base tier and potential paid plans). The feature aims to reduce reliance on third-party providers like Google Drive and iCloud, improve privacy and data control, and is currently under development with phased rollout, testing, and security audits expected.
