It better be the same because WhatsApp uses the Signal encryption protocol!

Doesn't necessarily have to be the same. Afaik the signal protocol is for sending messages, not for transferring backups of chats.

Whatsapp actually lets you back up all your chats, unencrypted, to Google Drive or iCloud. Definitely not the same as Signal.
