Step 1: Open WhatsApp and Go to Chats
First, open the WhatsApp application on your smartphone. Tap on the ‘Chats’ tab at the bottom of the screen to proceed.
Step 2: Access Chat Backup Settings

Step 3: Disable End-to-End Encrypted Backup
In the ‘Chat Backup’ settings, you will see an option called ‘End-to-end Encrypted Backup’. Tap on it to proceed.
Step 4: Turn Off End-to-End Encrypted Backup
On the ‘End-to-end Encrypted Backup’ screen, you will find a toggle switch. Tap on it to turn off the encryption for your chat backups.
Step 5: Enter Your Password
After turning off the encryption, WhatsApp will prompt you to enter your password to confirm the changes. Enter your password and tap on ‘Confirm’.
That’s it! You have successfully disabled end-to-end encryption for your chat backups in WhatsApp. It’s important to note that this only affects your chat backups and not the end-to-end encryption for your messages and calls in real-time.
However, it’s worth mentioning that disabling end-to-end encryption for your chat backups can potentially expose your messages and media to unauthorized access. So, only disable it if you have a valid reason and understand the risks involved.
