WhatsApp is most popular among users for messaging and video calls. There are not one or two lakh but crores of users on this platform. In such a situation, along with Meta, the government also keeps an eye on such accounts, which carry out any wrong activity from their account, or action is also taken against those who are suspected. Meanwhile, the instant messaging platform WhatsApp has banned more than 7.4 million (about 74 lakh) Indian accounts in April.
The popular Messenger app has recently been investigating increasing spam calls from international numbers. The platform has suspended 7,452,500 Indian accounts, of which 2,469,700 were banned before any reports from users. Earlier in March, the company had closed about 47 lakh Indian accounts by the app.
