WhatsApp now functions in over 180 countries. Only countries that forbid/have imposed restrictions on WhatsApp use are; China, North Korea, Syria, Qatar and the UAE. However, there are ways to unlock WhatsApp and VoIP services in Qatar and other countries as well.
The low-cost phone and video call services offered by WhatsApp have been a game-changer for users across all economic backgrounds and religious beliefs, spanning developed and developing countries. This inclusive platform has connected people from various faiths, including Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Parsis, Jews, Jains, followers of Taoism, the Baháʼí Faith, Confucianism, Shinto, and Atheists.
It’s no surprise that WhatsApp is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking technological advancements of the 21st century.
Interestingly, “universities” focusing on questionable education have emerged, with WhatsApp serving as the primary tool for connection and communication.
While WhatsApp itself does not generate rumors or false information, it does provide a platform for users to spread and perpetuate such misinformation. It’s essential for users to be vigilant and discerning when consuming content on this platform.
In order to benefit from the use of WhatsApp the users need to be discerning and not believe all that comes as forward. But check from multiple sources the authenticity of the “information” and “wisdom” being dished out. Many so-called influencers use this medium to create false narratives to get more eyeballs.

Anyone with an entrepreneurial bent of mind and free time ( Khalihar Time in Bhojpuri ) can set up a Whatsapp University. The net result is that WhatsApp universities now have campuses in almost all the countries of the world with their numbers running into millions or may be a billion plus.
The motto of these Universities is Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam ( The world is one family).
The WhatsAppians like many educated and uneducated Indians are happy with two words “वसुधैव कुटुंबकम ( Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam)” only; the second half of the second line of the Shloka. First half of the second line is उदार चरितानाम ( Udar Charitanam) meaning those who are generous, liberal and benevolent etc. “only for them” the world is one family. They do not bother to know and understand the meaning of full shloka!
अयो निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्
महोपनिषद्
उदार चरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्
There is no regulator for these universities. They operate on the basis of self-regulation which essentially means no regulation.
Of late many self-appointed examiners who call themselves “ Fact Checkers” occasionally check the Gyan ( wisdom) dished out but overall WhatsApp university channels operate as free for all operations.
