U.S. House tells staffers not to use Meta's WhatsApp

Meta is pushing back against a ban on WhatsApp from government devices. The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of the U.S. House of Representatives told staffers on Monday that they are not allowed to use Meta's popular messaging app. The CAO cited a lack of transparency about WhatsApp's data privacy and security practices as the reason for the ban, according to a report by Axios that cited an internal email from the government office. The CAO told House staff members in the email that they are not allowed to download WhatsApp on their government devices or access the app on their smartphones or desktop computers, the report said. Staff members must remove WhatsApp from their devices if they have the app installed on their devices, the report said. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone on Monday responded to the report via a post on X, saying that the company disagrees "with the House Chief Administrative Officer's characterization in the strongest possible terms." "We know members and their staffs regularly use WhatsApp and we look forward to ensuring members of the House can join their Senate counterparts in doing so officially," Stone said. In a separate X post, Stone said that WhatsApp's encrypted nature provides a "higher level of security than most of the apps on the CAO's approved list that do not offer that protection." Some of the messaging apps that the CAO said are acceptable alternatives to WhatsApp include Microsoft Teams, Signal and Apple's iMessage, the Axios report said. The CAO did not respond to a request for comment. Meta is currently embroiled in an antitrust case with the Federal Trade Commission over the social media company's acquisitions of WhatsApp and Instagram.

US House Bans WhatsApp From Staffers' Government-Issued Devices

Meta's WhatsApp messaging platform has been added to a list of apps banned from government-issued devices for congressional staffers in the US House of Representatives, a move driven by concerns about the app's data security. The decision by the House Chief Administrative Officer was relayed to staffers Monday, according to Axios, and puts WhatsApp on a list that also includes the Chinese-owned chatbot, DeepSeek. The CAO didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

House staffers can't have WhatsApp on their devices

The House of Representatives has banned staff members from using WhatsApp on government devices, according to a report from Axios. In an email viewed by the outlet, the House's chief administrative officer (CAO) tells staffers that the Office of Cybersecurity 'has deemed WhatsApp a high-risk' because of a 'lack of transparency in how it protects user data, absence of stored data encryption, and potential security risks.' The email says that congressional staff members can't download or use the mobile, desktop, or web browser version of WhatsApp on any government device. 'If you have a WhatsApp application on your House-managed device, you will be contacted to remove it,' the email reads. Meta communications director Andy Stone pushed back against the decision in a post on X, saying the company disagrees with the CAO's characterization of WhatsApp 'in the strongest possible terms.' Stone adds that messages on WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted by default, meaning third parties — not even Meta, which owns the platform — can read them. 'This is a higher level of security than most of the apps on the CAO's approved list that do not offer that protection,' Stone writes. As noted by The Guardian, the CAO's message to staff recommended that they use other apps for communications instead, such as Microsoft Teams, Signal, iMessage, FaceTime, or the Amazon-owned messaging service Wickr. The CAO didn't immediately respond to The Verge's request for more information. WhatsApp isn't the only app not allowed by the House. It has also banned TikTok on government devices and put restrictions on the use of the free version of ChatGPT.
