Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Friday that WhatsApp has built end-to-end encrypted backups and will soon begin rolling out this extra layer of privacy and security protection to users.

"We’re adding another layer of privacy and security to WhatsApp: an end-to-end encryption option for the backups people choose to store in Google Drive or iCloud. WhatsApp is the first global messaging service at this scale to offer end-to-end encrypted messaging and backups, and getting there was a really hard technical challenge that required an entirely new framework for key storage and cloud storage across operating system," Zuckerberg said
