We have designated WhatsApp as a Very Large Online Platform under the Digital Services Act.

As WhatsApp Channels reaches 45 million EU users, it must now meet higher safety and transparency standards, including risk assessment and content moderation.

These rules focus on keeping public broadcasts safe for all, while ensuring your private messages stay private.

For a digital Europe where safety and privacy coexist.
