The Israel Internet Association called on Saturday evening to back up important data immediately, citing a wave of WhatsApp blocks. The association said it contacted Meta demanding answers but has not received any response.
The Israel Internet Association issued a statement Saturday evening urging Israelis to back up important data on WhatsApp, after a wave of account blocks affected many users over the weekend.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday, WhatsApp was blocked for many Israelis, prompting the association to contact Meta. The organization said it has not yet received a response.
The association called on users to back up chats and media now, warning that affected accounts may lose access to data. The cause of the blocks remains unclear, and Meta has not publicly commented.
