With this, it seems like WhatsApp is taking a step forward towards interconnecting with other Facebook-owned apps. Currently, a user can share their WhatsApp story on their Facebook profile.
WhatsApp is also working on encrypting chat backups on Google Drive and iCloud. The feature will allow users to encrypt their chat backup by putting in a password. The latest offering will soon be available on Android and iOS devices.
