Some major problems which you might be seen by WhatsApp

1. Backups are not encrypted

The messages you send via WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted, which means that only your device has the ability to decode them. This prevents your messages being intercepted during transmission, but nothing of these can guarantee safety while on your device. On both iOS and Android, it is possible to create a backup of messages to either iCloud or Google Drive.  The backups then WhatsApp’s creates contains the decrypted messages on your device.

• Your data can be easily accessed from the latest backup of your daily messages. Because it is not encrypted.
•  It is also vulnerable as there is no ability to change your backup location, meaning that you are at the mercy of the cloud service to keep your data protected.

Therefore, there is no such concept of end-to-end security in the case of an unencrypted backup, which is available on the cloud services; and legal agencies can access with a warrant.

What you can do?

Tip : Since the back ups are not encrypted, It is always better to avoid abusing, bullying through WhatsApp messages and do not forward hoax calls and other threat messages
