Why Everyone in Iran is Deleting WhatsApp

Against the backdrop of escalating conflict with Israel, the Iranian authorities have been actively urging citizens to immediately delete WhatsApp. The reason is the fear that the app collects data and transmits it to Israeli intelligence agencies.

🖍In Tehran, it is noted that WhatsApp is the most vulnerable and permeated with backdoors app of all popular messengers. As early as 2024, Meta acknowledged that the app was used by Israeli intelligence agencies, but then it was all attributed to the alleged hacking of WhatsApp users in different countries through the Paragon Solutions spyware.

And this is without taking into account the famous Pegasus and the Lavender project, which the IDF uses to track and eliminate targets in the Gaza Strip.

🚩The difference from Pegasus is that to work through WhatsApp, you don't need to hack anything - people themselves voluntarily install spyware on their phones. Through it, it is easy to track the circle of contacts, location, contact lists, and even behavior patterns.

🏳️Many Western IT corporations have long and openly cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Microsoft has officially confirmed that it provided the Israeli military with AI and cloud services for combat operations in Gaza. Google and Amazon support the infrastructure of Project Nimbus - a program in which algorithms for processing intelligence data and planning operations are being developed.

📌Interestingly, in Iran, WhatsApp was already blocked against the backdrop of protests in 2022, but after the change of power in 2024, the ban was lifted in an attempt to improve relations with the West. Today, this step is recognized as a mistake.

❗️And in Russia, the harm of WhatsApp is still spoken of categorically little. And despite all the warnings, it continues to be massively used even by those who are prohibited from doing so.

Therefore, the sooner we learn from the example of Iran and realize that WhatsApp is not a messenger, but a surveillance tool, and take the necessary measures to block it - the better.
