How to turn off WhatsApp in your device backup

iPhone

Your iPhone may automatically create backups of your WhatsApp chats, and these backups aren’t protected by WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption. We recommend turning off WhatsApp in your device backup when you set up end-to-end encrypted backup in WhatsApp.

To turn it off:

Open Settings.

Tap your name > iCloud > iCloud backup.

Select your device.

Untoggle WhatsApp.

Note:

Turning off WhatsApp in your device backup doesn’t enable end-to-end encrypted backup. Learn how to turn on end-to-end encrypted backup.
WhatsApp messages aren’t included in your device backup.
