Cloud Health Check is a feature in Bitkey that monitors the health of the cloud backups saved to your connected cloud account:
- 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 checks these backups each 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If something is missing, out of date, or disconnected (like your cloud account), Bitkey will notify you and guide you on what to do.
🔎 Note: Cloud Health Check is not a recovery method. It helps ensure your backups remain available for recovery or emergency scenarios.

You can check your backup status in the Security hub.
