New president Masoud Pezeshkian has promised to ease Internet restrictions (other social networks in the country are also blocked), which is the first step towards fulfilling his promise.

The ban on the use of WhatsApp has been lifted in Iran. The restrictions are valid for more than two years. The Times of Israel reported this on Tuesday, December 24.

The ban on the Google Play app store has also been lifted.

The decision was made by majority vote in the Supreme Council for Information Security.

Both services were blocked in Iran after protests erupted in the country in September 2022 over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was detained by the morality police on charges of improperly wearing the hijab.

Instagram remains inaccessible in Iran, as do Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube – three platforms banned from use in 2009. TikTok and Telegram do not work in the Islamic Republic.

Iran’s new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, has promised to ease restrictions on the Internet.

The Albanian government has announced a one-year ban on the TikTok app for inciting violence among young people.

We remind you that the head of the European Commission is not lifting the ban on TikTok in the EU either. Ursula von der Leyen assured that the EU government “is well aware of how dangerous TikTok is.”
