I've noticed this as well, do they even encrypt the backups the upload to google drive and if so with what key? If they use one key then the advantages of perfect forward and perfect future secrecy that the double-ratchet protocol provides is lost.

Messages and media backed up to Google Drive are "not protected by WhatsApp end-to-end encryption while in Google Drive" according the app.

Hey

You replied to me about a month ago concerned about my health when I was dealing with issues with my wife: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13039203

I couldn't reply to that as it is too old, but wanted to tell you that we talked and we ended up parting ways. While things are still in a turmoil, it seems like some kind of window opened and hope is out there again.

Just wanted to thank you for the concern showed then.

Happy new year!!
