The government has announced a new regulation affecting WhatsApp and other messaging apps, stating that from March 1, users will need an active SIM card linked to their registered phone number in order to use the apps normally. Under the updated rule, apps like WhatsApp may stop working if they are not connected to a valid and active SIM.
Currently, it is possible to use WhatsApp on a phone even after removing the SIM card. However, under the new policy, users will be required to maintain an active SIM in their device, and accounts could be disabled or made inaccessible if the registered number changes without an active SIM.
The government says the change is aimed at increasing security and authenticity of user accounts, ensuring that messaging apps can only be used with mobile numbers that are actively linked to SIM cards. This could have significant impact on how users log in, verify, and continue using messaging platforms across devices.
Digital platforms and telecom companies are expected to implement the new rule from March 1 and update their systems to enforce the requirement of an active SIM card for registration and continued use. Users will need to ensure their phone numbers remain active and linked to the SIM to avoid unexpected loss of access to their accounts.
Sarkar ne announce kiya hai ki 1 March se WhatsApp aur dusre messaging apps ke liye naya SIM-linked rule lagu hoga. Ab agar aap WhatsApp use karna chahte hain, to aapke phone me registered number wali Active SIM ka hona zaroori hoga.
Abhi tak aisa hota tha ki SIM nikal dene ke baad bhi WhatsApp phone me chalta rehta tha. Lekin naye rule ke baad bina Active SIM ke app chalana mushkil ho sakta hai.
Iske alawa, agar koi user apna mobile number change karta hai aur naya number properly Active SIM se verify nahi hota, to WhatsApp account band ya disable ho sakta hai.
Sarkar ka kehna hai ki yeh step security strong karne aur fake ya misuse accounts ko control karne ke liye liya gaya hai. Is rule ka maksad yeh hai ki sirf wahi accounts active rahen jo valid aur active SIM se linked hon.
1 March se telecom companies aur messaging platforms ko yeh system implement karna hoga. Users ko ensure karna hoga ki unka number active rahe, warna account access me problem aa sakti hai.
Aapko kya lagta hai — yeh rule security ke liye sahi step hai ya users ke liye inconvenience ban sakta hai? 🤔
