WhatsApp banned over 71 lakh accounts in India - Know the reason


In a remarkable move aimed at upholding user safety and combating the spread of hate speech and misinformation, WhatsApp locked over 7.1 million accounts in India throughout the month of September.

This decisive action was taken

in strict adherence to India’s IT Rules of 2021, which require large digital platforms to report their monthly compliance activities. WhatsApp disclosed these staggering figures in its recent user safety report.

WhatsApp further clarified that the term "Accounts Actioned" indicates cases in which they took corrective action in response to the report. "Taking action" can encompass either suspending an account or reinstating a previously banned account in response to a complaint.


Scam offers on WhatsApp

Fake job offers: Scammers may offer you a job with high pay, but they'll usually ask you to pay a fee or provide personal information upfront. Don't fall for it!


Suspicious giveaways: If you see a message promising a free iPhone or other prize in exchange for sharing your personal information, don't click on any links! These scams are designed to steal your data.


Suspicious apps: Never download apps from unknown sources, especially if they're claiming to be from a bank or other financial institution. Scammers may try to trick you into installing malware that can steal your financial information.


Overseas calls: Ignore and block all calls from unknown overseas numbers. WhatsApp has measures to stop these calls, but if you do receive one, don't answer it.


Random links: Be careful about clicking on links in WhatsApp messages, especially from people you don't know. These links may lead to phishing websites or malware that can infect your device.
