Shafaqna India:Instant messaging platform WhatsApp on Monday placed several accounts, including some in India, under review for up to 24 hours and temporarily disabled access to app features, prompting affected users to raise concerns on social media.
Responding to queries, a WhatsApp spokesperson said the company continuously works to prevent misuse of its platform. “We are always working to stay ahead of those trying to abuse our service and ban accounts to help keep other users safe. Sometimes we get this wrong and if we do, we try to fix it as quickly as possible to get people back to chatting,” the spokesperson said.
The issue came to light around 8 pm IST when users reported being unable to access certain features without receiving any prior warning from the Meta-owned messaging service.
