Whatsapp Denies Iran’s Claim That It Is Spying For Israel by nans24(op): 6:54pm On Jun 18, 2025
Iran’s state television urged people to delete WhatsApp, saying without evidence that the app was sending user information to Israel.

Iran’s state broadcaster on Tuesday urged people to remove WhatsApp from their phones, claiming that the messaging app was collecting user information and sending it to Israel as the two countries trade military strikes.

“WhatsApp and Instagram are collecting information about individuals and are providing the Zionist enemy with their last known location and communications, tagged with the names of individuals,” [/b]the Iranian state television network said, referring to Israel. It did not provide evidence for its claims.

WhatsApp, in a statement on Tuesday, said the allegations were false.

[b]“We’re concerned these false reports will be an excuse for our services to be blocked at a time when people need them the most,” the statement said. “All of the messages you send to family and friends on WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted, meaning no one except the sender and recipient has access to those messages, not even WhatsApp.”


Internet services across Iran have been suffering severe disruptions, according to Iranian officials, experts and citizens, who say the government is likely restricting access to limit the spread of information about strikes and for fear of Israeli cyberattacks.

WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, is one of the world’s most popular messaging services. It said in the statement that it does not track users’ precise location, nor does it monitor the messages people are sending one another. “We do not provide bulk information to any government,” the statement said.

End-to-end encryption makes it very hard for law enforcement and spy agencies to get access to people’s digital communications.

Smart move by the iranian regime.

You disagree? Okay lets break it down.

1. Whatsapp is owned by META

2. META CEO Mark Zukerberg is a JEW

3. The JEW called Mark Zukerberg, has been exposed several times of selling out billions of private user data to the highest bidder. Yes, he really doesnt give a f**k about your privacy. tongue

That aside,

4. Isreal is known for producing powerful spyware. Apart from stealing land from the original owners they love to hack and steal private user data via spyware. Stealing is their talent.

E fit be true oo. I read on New York times that Iran govt is warning citizens to delete Whatsapp on their phones because Israel is using it to track its leaders.

E fit possible sha,cos the same Israel wey plant bomb inside walkie talkies of Hezbollah militants fit hack watsapp app of Iranians.

When it comes to intelligence and espionage operations,Israel is number one. Even Us no come close. Give it to them abeg. The kind tech wey dem dey use to track Iran military officers is pure sophistication.

WhatsApp was created for this very purpose. Use at your own risk or move your Comms to a secure app like signal. Even toddlers know WhatsApp is harvesting and selling

All american apps and gadgets are spying on everyone whether Whatsapps, Facebook, iphone etc...if they claim that Whatsapps is encrypted, why do they still have moderators grin

About Iran, if Iran is destabilize, it means the whole middle east will be destabilize.

It also means, there will be lot of immigration issues all over the world because lot of Iranians (90m in population) will be looking for a second home, they will flood to Europe and America.

Immigration crisis coming soon

Enemy of modern technology, that is what Arab world is, yet they refuse to go back to the time of Muhammed, they are employing scientists to build nuclear weapon. That they will use to destroy infidel according to their terms.

Was wondering where the intel for the precision of the strikes at very short time interval could be coming from.
Even if mossad has spies on ground, the time it will take to contact base, decipher and authenticate the intel on who to kill and exact location will take some days at least( I may be wrong).
Israel moved way too fast on them targets making it look like the targets already had a monitor on them all along.
China banning USA apps now makes so much sense, you will never see a patriotic Chinese on any American communication app in china.

What about the phone they are using? They should stop using phone instead because iOS and Android is also watching on them.

In today technology you can't avoid or bypass America. Because they started everything.

Internet, internet online banking. Everything was already happening there in the 90s before the world caught up in mid 20s.
