The Chinese government has decided to officially block the WhatsApp application. It was claimed that the application, which was hastily removed from the App Store in China after the decision reported by senior government officials to the Apple management, posed a critical danger in terms of national security secrets.
It is said that the messaging application, which is claimed to be used in various espionage activities, will suffer a major financial blow if it permanently loses such a large market. A bright future does not await American companies in the country, which has been dominated by the local WeChat company for a long time. Here are the most important details about the subject…
China made a shocking decision about WhatsApp
After Facebook and Instagram, WhatsApp also faced the wrath of the Chinese administration. It was known that the country, which has recently blocked many foreign social media applications, was particularly disturbed by messaging applications. In addition, the Threads platform will also be affected by this ban decision.
It is said that this development is a retaliation for the bill prepared to remove TikTok in America. It is claimed that as long as the American administration maintains this harsh attitude, China will further increase the restrictions imposed on Silicon Valley companies.
Apple Notes is planning to enhance user experience in iOS 18 with two major features: voice recording and mathematical calculations.
Although Apple does not want to remove WhatsApp from the application store in China, we know that it has to strictly comply with the requests of the country’s government. The brand, which has been having a difficult time commercially in the country lately, is working hard to bring back iPhone sales, which have fallen significantly in the Chinese market. It was even claimed that Apple CEO Tim Cook personally took charge of the issue. We hope that all these developments will benefit the users at the end of the day.
