Recently Nepal (Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal) has banned 26 social media and messaging mobile apps. Nepal banned these apps because these companies did not officially register with the Nepali government. This rule was introduced to keep social media data safe and ensure companies follow local laws. Now, Nepal’s citizen cannot access these apps unless the companies complete the registration process.
Here is the simple list of the banned apps:
- Messenger (Meta Messenger)
- YouTube
- X (formerly Twitter)
- Snapchat
- Discord
- Signal
- Threads
- Quora
- Tumblr
- Clubhouse
- Mastodon
- Rumble
- VK
- Line
- IMO
- Zalo
- Soul
- Hamro Patro
- MeWe
Apps like TikTok and Viber are still working because they already completed the registration process. The ban affects millions of users who used these platforms for chatting, sharing, and entertainment.
