The Facebook-owned company now independently encrypts your backups in the cloud and this feature is visible in the 2.21.15.5 Android beta update. The stable version of WhatsApp currently lets you store all your chats to a third-party app, Google Drive. Do note that if you forget the password, then WhatsApp won’t be able to restore your chat history. WhatsApp will help generate a random 64-digit encryption key, but if you lose this key, then you won’t be able to access all your data. WhatsApp has added a feature called HD Photos, which allows you to choose the quality of the photos that you want to share with your contacts.
