Tough thing is currently going on for the dedicated WhatsApp users in China, as the app has been permanently and fully blocked in the country today. From many days in the past, the users experienced a very spotty functionality in WhatsApp in China, which has now been locally blocked in fullest manner.

Blocked WhatsApp will now join many other universally used apps’ list, which have already been blocked in China, and which include Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Wikipedia, and many of the Google’s services.

The main reason in blocking the WhatsApp is also the act of censorship as well as easier monitoring of data. Moreover, this is also considered as a very usual and common practice on part of Chinese government that once an application becomes widely popular and is used universally, then it gets totally blocked in China.

Some of the features of WhatsApp had been blocked in China earlier, which has now been blocked permanently and none of its features works in users’ smartphones in China.
