WhatsApp: Preparing for Blocking, Slowdowns Have Already Started
This article should have been written a few days ago when outage detectors were widely reporting issues with WhatsApp among Russian users. At that time, however, there were also problems with other services like "Instagram" making it difficult to identify the real cause.
However, after the ban on Viber and considering who owns WhatsApp, it is becoming clear: it’s better to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
What to Do?
1. Save Your Contacts
Make sure all your contacts from WhatsApp are transferred to your phone’s address book. You might have chats with people whose numbers haven’t been saved yet.
2. Back Up Important Data
Review your active chats and save any critical information. It’s wise to store these details in a separate location to avoid unpleasant surprises if access is suddenly lost.
