Encryption starts with your phone

End-to-end encryption turns your photos and videos into unreadable data before they are sent to cloud storage. Opening them again requires the right decryption key.

A lock and a backup do different jobs

A photo vault helps protect access on your device. Cloud backup stores another copy beyond that device. End-to-end encryption protects the contents of that copy.

What Memories on Cloud says

Our Google Play listing describes AES-256 encryption on the device and a key that is not stored on our servers. This is why we can store your encrypted media without being able to view the originals.

Keep recovery in mind

Before relying on any encrypted backup, understand how to access it after a lost phone. Read the app’s current recovery instructions and store recovery information carefully.
