WhatsApp Introduces Passkey Support for Chat Backups
WhatsApp now allows users to protect their end-to-end encrypted chat backups with passkeys, making it easier to access them in case of a lost or damaged phone.

- Passkeys provide a secure and convenient way to restore WhatsApp chats on any device.
- The feature is now rolling out globally on both Android and iOS.
WhatsApp has been testing the passkey feature and is now available for all users.
To set up passkey backups, users can tap on the profile icon on Android or the Settings tab on iOS.
