You don’t need to back up WhatsApp to iCloud-but you risk losing your message history if you lose or change your phone. If the encryption limitation with iCloud backups is little understood across Apple’s vast userbase, this innovative iMessage fix now in place is even less well understood. “If you have iCloud Backup turned on, your backup includes a copy of the key protecting your Messages.” “No one else can access or read this data.” Apple does not have a key. “Messages in iCloud” maintains end-to-end encryption, “your data is protected with a key derived from information unique to your device, combined with your device passcode, which only you know” Apple explains. If you add a new device, you simply enable “ Messages in iCloud” under your iCloud settings and all your messages will be uploaded.

Not only that, but Apple also offers the option to sync your full message history across all those linked devices. You can use the same iMessage account on your iPhone, iPad and Mac. So, how did iMessage fix the problem? Unlike WhatsApp, iMessage offers multi-platform access. it may/may not work or you.Let’s put this more simply, WhatsApp’s recommended method to transfer your account to a new iPhone was rejected by Apple for its own iMessage three years ago, given the serious security and privacy concerns involved. So while this issue has been resolved for me and considering i cannot prove that there really was a grain of sand under the key or me smashing the crap out of the key fixed the butterfly mechanism. but seems like not all of it has come off/out. i did quickly blow off any grains of sand i could see. I'm going to use my DataVac as well to further get rid of any crap underneath the entire keyboardĬall it a coincident or not, i did use my late 2016 MBP w/touch bar outside in the back yard while watching the kids play and a gust of wind did kick up dirt onto me and MBP. I also did give the key a good blow to try help move/dislodge whatever may be underneath it. after smashing the the DELETE (the key that isnt' working for me properly) button a few times in frustration, i may have crushed whatever is underneath the key or may have moved/shifted the dirt or whatever that was under it and works ok.
