According toWABetaInfo, the feature could be enabled from the apps configs on Android devices that have received it.
When enabled, WhatsApp would automatically back up any conversations you have to the cloud using end-to-end encryption.

Alternatively, the backup system also allows the use of a 64-digit encryption key instead of a password.
