### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- Meta Platforms owns **[WhatsApp](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/51480/how-to-fix-whatsapp-that-won-t-load-keeps-crashing-on-iphone-se-after-installing-latest-ios-version)**, an internationally available freemium, cross-platform centralised instant messaging (IM) and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service. Users can exchange text and voice messages, make audio and video chats, and share photographs, documents, user locations, and other stuff through the app.
- Because different routers have different settings and menus, there is no definite solution to disable WhatsApp on wifi.
- Most routers, on the other hand, feature a setting that allows you to prevent particular websites or programmes from being viewed when connected to the wifi network.
- To restrict WhatsApp on wifi, go to your router's settings and add the name of the website or application to the blocked list.
