WhatsApp has been banned on all U.S. House of Representatives devices due to security concerns, as stated in a memo from the Chief Administrative Officer. The Office of Cybersecurity identified WhatsApp as high-risk due to its lack of transparency in user data protection and absence of stored data encryption. The memo recommended alternative messaging apps such as Microsoft Teams, Wickr, Signal, iMessage, and FaceTime.
