Swiss Armed Forces Prohibit Soldiers from Using Telegram, WhatsApp, and Signal Apps

The leadership of the Swiss Armed Forces has prohibited soldiers from using Telegram, WhatsApp, and Signal applications, allowing only the use of the Swiss Threema app. This was reported by Swissinfo.

One of the reasons for this decision was the need to ensure 'information security.'

Threema complies with the data security regulations of the European Union. Meanwhile, according to recent surveys, WhatsApp remains the most popular instant messaging app among people aged 16 to 64 in Switzerland.
