That’s vital! I’ve heard of cases where outdated tools led to data leaks.
Also, it’s good practice to delete unneeded backups. Out of sight, out of mind helps with security as long as you store necessary files securely.

Right, but how do we know what’s unneeded? I mean, I keep a lot of sentimental chats.

No need to delete sentimental chats! Just create an encrypted backup and store it safely. It’s all about balance between safety and nostalgia.
Totally agree! The encryption helps, but what’s the backup process like?
You can back up your msgstore file directly from WhatsApp settings. Just ensure your backup is encrypted through your cloud service.
It’s also key to regularly update your app for any encryption upgrades they’ve implemented.
And don’t forget to ensure your phone is secure! Even the best encryption won’t save you from a stolen device.
