WhatsApp banned 2.39 million Indian accounts in July, the peak so far this year, the Meta (META.O)-owned standard instant messaging app said late on Thursday in its monthly report. The messaging platform, which has been criticized former for spreading fake news and hate speech in the country, as well as to another place in the world, had taken down 2.21 million accounts in India in June.
WhatsApp is supposedly working on a login approval feature like Instagram and Facebook that could make efforts to hack a user’s account on the app more problematic.
