WhatsApp beta introduces alternative to iCloud backup for iPhone. A new cloud provider is being tested for iOS backups.
WhatsApp is developing a first-party cloud storage option for chat backups on iPhone, providing users with an alternative to iCloud for the first time. This move is significant as it gives users more control over their data and offers end-to-end encryption by default.
As we have been following the latest developments in iOS and iPhone-related news, this update is particularly noteworthy given the recent release of iOS 27 public betas. The new cloud backup service, discovered in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS, will offer 2GB of free storage.
What to watch next is how this alternative backup solution will be received by iPhone users and whether it will integrate seamlessly with other Apple platforms, such as macOS 27, which also has a public beta available.
