Not exactly related, but does anyone know what's the best way to backup WhatsApp data on an Android phone without using Google drive these days?
I use Syncthing to backup WA and Signal
But isn't it quite useless to backup WA when it's all encrypted and you can't backup the key?
The backup key is shown the first time you enable encryption.
I guess they've changed this in the last 2 years or so because last time I checked they kept your key hostage and only allowed transferring all data, including the key, to a new phone.
I'm using this method since 2020 or even before. I've never ever enabled the backup on GDrive.
