  • MSharifpourMD Milad Sharifpour, MD (@MSharifpourMD) reported

    @mosseri @andymstone Can you explain to me how is it that IG and @WhatsApp accounts that have an Iranian number (98 international code) are not working in the US and Europe? Most certainly Iran’s govt doesn’t control access to internet in the US or Europe

  • phonix05417555 phonix (@phonix05417555) reported

    @Splendidess @WhatsApp @netblocks They are shutting down the internet in Iran. Please share it with others. Do not let them to kill people in silence. #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی #OpIran

  • _Behrouz Behrouz Hariri (@_Behrouz) reported

    Got an update from @mvalipour and others at @Meta that it was an issue caused in the process of trying to help Iranian users circumvent internet restrictions. If you still have issues with @WhatsApp with an Iran phone number while you are outside Iran, pls share. #مهسا_امینی

  • itsMostafaaa Mostafa (@itsMostafaaa) reported

    @ImanOracle @WhatsApp You should be embarrassed. Iranian people are alone. They always been. When it is an EU country like Ukraine issue, all of you become supporters from social medias to @elonmusk to facilitate Internet access. But when it comes to an Iran-issue you become blind and deaf.

  • RezaTah15957437 Reza Taheri (@RezaTah15957437) reported

    @WhatsApp ****, change went wrong, Iranian numbers are all having issues, let's roll back the change

  • pecullaa Peculla (@pecullaa) reported

    @WhatsApp I don't know what your definition of "up and running" is, but Iranians worldwide have no access to their #WhatsApp accounts, i.e., it's "down and sleeping"!

  • ra7aluae7 ra7aluae (@ra7aluae7) reported

    @WhatsApp Is there no one who can help us how to talk to WhatsApp other than emails for a month, and I suffer because my number has been blocked, and I did not violate any conditions. Is there an answer?

    Eventually, they shut down the whole internet to kill more. Please, if you see this tweet, be Iranians' voice. In addition, **** you @Meta @WhatsApp @instagram #مهسا_امینی #OpIran #internetdown

  • FiXxXiF FiXxXiF (@FiXxXiF) reported

    @WhatsApp @netblocks All the users signed up with an Iranian number have been experiencing the same issue, no matter they're IN or OUT of Iran! This is confirmed by users in different continents. Are you going to elaborate on this? How are they able to disrupt users access even in the free world?

  • NahidGhani Nahid Ghani (@NahidGhani) reported

    .@facebook tell your boss to stop submission to the IR. Why has he shut down @WhatsApp in Iran?

    @WhatsApp @instagram and other communication apps are not working properly in Iran due to #IranianProtests this means the government doesn't want the world to witness their brutality. We need to open safe routes for thw Iranians to send their videos out. #OpIran
