Iranian applications
Iranian applications are the combined superapps backed by the Iranian Islamic Republic regime, the apps offer communication platforms that function on the National Information Network, while being limited and censored by government. The apps receive robust government support and funding.[1][2] The state offers some electronic government services exclusively through the apps.[3][4]
Security
[edit]The apps were removed by Google Play Store Protect in 2022 after being tagged for spyware.[5] The apps have been criticized by security experts for lacking security measures and infrastructures such as E2EE encryptions.[6] The apps are interlinked through Message Exchange Center.[7] In 2017 the message apps were affected by critical outages.[8]
Timeline
[edit]In December 2024 the apps received 50 billion toman in additional government supported funding after Iranian government unblocked WhatsApp after 2.5 years.[9][10]
