The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) on Tuesday warned that WhatsApp accounts linked to inactive or unregistered SIMs could become inaccessible if users did not update their details.
In an advisory issued on X, PTA said users must ensure that their WhatsApp accounts were connected to an active and properly registered SIM, stressing that “your digital identity is your responsibility.”
The authority cautioned that accounts linked to blocked, cancelled, inactive or unregistered SIMs could soon face access issues, advising users to verify their SIM registration status and ensure timely biometric verification where required.
