WhatsApp blocks Telegram Links.


          WhatsApp owned by giant Facebook is one of the most popular messaging application that has been used by billions and infact many teens are addicted to it. Recently a news has been released that WhatsApp is blocking link to Telegram.

           Users can notice if they typed a URL (Web link) in their chat box will change it to a link which  is clickable and can be forwarded so that other users can visit the site easily. WhatsApp started blocking the Telegram links.

            #Telegram is one such messaging which has many new features such as Secret Chat, Self Destructing Messages and end to end encryption and many more which many even dint tried of. 

               WhatsApp rolled out a new update WhatsApp 2.12.327 earlier this day and in that if a user typed a link like "www.telegram.me" (For Example) then it will not change into a link which can be clicked by any user will take you to the site.

                The link has not been recognized as a URL and appears to be a normal link and it has been found by a user who posted in reddit today.

                 Telegram acknowledged this and there has been a news that the social network giant may block the link but there is no official information from both WhatsApp and Telegram.

                  Users can check this with the updated version #2.12.327 and then comment if anything is wrong. Official information yet to be released by WhatsApp and Telegram.

P.S : The post is to create awareness and not to create any negative impact.
