The company said on Thursday that it is launching proxy support for its users. If their connection is disrupted or blocked, the support will allow them to keep using the messaging service.
Users can use a proxy to connect toWhatsApp through a server set up by volunteers and organizations around the world. Personal messages will still be protected by end-to-end encryption even if you connect via proxy. Messages won't be visible to anyone in between, not even the proxy server.
We continue to fight for your right to communicate freely and privately.
Now, when connecting to WhatsApp directly is not possible, you can stay connected around the world through a server set up by volunteers and organizations dedicated to helping others communicate freely.

It is our wish that the internet will never be shut down. There have been disruptions in Iran for months on end that deny people their human rights. We hope that this solution will help people wherever there is a need for reliable communication.
All users of the latest version of the app can use the new option. You can use social media or search engines to find trusted sources if you have internet access. To connect to a proxy, you have to go into yourWhatsApp settings and tap "Storage and Data" and "Proxy." You need to use a proxy and enter a proxy address before connecting.
You will see a check mark if the connection is successful. The proxy may have been blocked if you are still unable to send or receive messages. You can use a different proxy address in this instance. The use of a third-party proxy will give the proxy provider your internet Protocol address, according to the messaging service.
