  • The announcement comes after it was revealed ministers deleted messages exchanged during the pandemic.

The Indian government has decided to ban the use of WhatsApp for official communications among its employees, as announced by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. This decision stems from concerns over data security and privacy, as WhatsApp, owned by Meta, is not considered secure enough for official government business. Instead, the government is promoting the use of its own secure messaging platform, GIMS (Government Instant Messaging System), which is designed to meet stringent security standards.

The ban will be implemented across all government departments and agencies, with strict enforcement measures to ensure compliance.
