White House Bans WhatsApp

Posted on June 26, 2025

Reuters is reporting that the White House has banned WhatsApp on all employee devices:

The notice said the “Office of Cybersecurity has deemed WhatsApp a high risk to users due to the lack of transparency in how it protects user data, absence of stored data encryption, and potential security risks involved with its use.”

TechCrunch has more commentary, but no more information.
