Cloud Health Check is a feature in Bitkey that monitors the health of the cloud backups saved to your connected cloud account—specifically:
- Your hardware-encrypted App Key backup, used to recover your wallet if you lose your phone
- Your Emergency Exit Kit, which allows you to access your funds if Bitkey or Block becomes unavailable
Bitkey automatically checks both backups every time you open the app and periodically in the background.
If something is missing, out of date, or disconnected (like your cloud account), Bitkey will notify you in the app and guide you through what to do.
🔍 Note: Cloud Health Check is not a recovery method. It helps ensure your cloud backups remain healthy and available—whether they’re needed for recovery or for emergency scenarios where Bitkey or Block may no longer be accessible.
