Russia Cuts Off WhatsApp, Pushes Citizens Toward State Messaging App

Russian messenger app MAX is displayed on a smartphone next to the WhatsApp logo. The latter app has been barred in Russia, with authorities pushing state-backed MAX. Russia has moved to fully block WhatsApp nationwide, escalating its long-running effort to tighten control over digital communication. Officials claim the platform failed to comply with domestic regulations, prompting authorities to shut down access for millions of users. In place of WhatsApp, the government is promoting MAX, a state-backed messaging service it describes as secure, reliable, and aligned with national interests. Russian officials argue that relying on foreign platforms poses risks, while critics warn that the shift could expand state surveillance and limit private communication. The move fits into a broader pattern of Russia steering users toward homegrown digital ecosystems as it seeks greater control over information flows and online activity.
