Chatting on WhatsApp is enjoyable. We stay in touch with our family all the time through WhatsApp.
WhatsApp has a feature for talking and seeing each other through video. But it’s important to be careful because one mistake can lead to losing access to many great services.
In November 2023, WhatsApp blocked the accounts of 71,96,000 users who didn’t follow the company’s rules.
Out of these, 19,54,000 accounts were banned by the company itself before anyone reported them.
In November, WhatsApp got 8,841 complaints. The company took action on 6 of them.
Additionally, 8 reports were received from the Grievance Appellate Committee, and action was taken on those too. WhatsApp uses the +91 code to identify Indian users.
WhatsApp provides many tools to keep users safe. There are checks during registration, messaging, and when users give negative feedback.
If someone reports an account, a team looks into it and decides what action to take, including permanently banning the account.
WhatsApp has important features for user safety, such as end-to-end encryption, muting unknown numbers, and locking chats.
The company is also working on more security features that might be launched this year.
