Islamabad: WhatsApp users be careful! PTA started blocking accounts linked to inactive SIMs.
According to the details, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has started a regular process of blocking WhatsApp accounts running on inactive and canceled SIM cards.
PTA officials said that the main objective of this move is to prevent any possible misuse of mobile numbers, which are no longer in use or ownership of their original user.
The authority has directed users to verify the mobile numbers associated with their WhatsApp accounts and ensure that their accounts are registered to numbers that are active and in their own use.
According to the PTA, the numbers of inactive SIMs may be released by telecom companies to other users in the future, creating a risk of unauthorized access and misuse of the old user's WhatsApp account.
