WhatsApp denies Iran's claim that it shares info with Israel
Meta has issued a statement in response to Iran's government urging citizens to delete WhatsApp.
The tech giant denies Iran's allegations that information from the messaging app is shared with Israel.
A spokesperson for WhatsApp's parent company Meta - which also owns Facebook and Instagram - says it is "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 says that all "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".
"We do not provide bulk information to any government. For over a decade, Meta has provided consistent transparency reports that include the limited circumstances when WhatsApp information has been requested," the spokesperson adds
