PTA to block WhatsApp accounts linked to inactive SIMs

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) decided to close WhatsApp accounts linked to inactive SIMs.

According to PTA, WhatsApp accounts linked to inactive, cancelled, or unused SIMs will be blocked.

WhatsApp accounts linked to inactive mobile numbers are used for illegal activities.

Some WhatsApp accounts linked to inactive SIMs are used for fraud and other illegal activities.

Users should link their WhatsApp accounts with existing and active mobile numbers.

The process of blocking WhatsApp accounts linked to inactive SIMs can start at any time.

Users who change mobile numbers should use the WhatsApp number change option immediately.

By changing mobile numbers on WhatsApp in a timely manner, users will be able to maintain control over their accounts.

The move against WhatsApp accounts linked to inactive numbers aims to prevent fraud and improve digital security.
