What was claimed in Fake Circulation
Let us tell you that it is being claimed on social media that if the government keeps an eye on your WhatsApp, then in such a situation 3 ticks are seen on the message sent to you. On the other hand, if you see two blue ticks and 1 red tick, then the government has taken action against you. At the same time, it is also being claimed that if you see one blue tick and 2 red ticks, then the government is screening your data. At the same time, you can get summons from the court on three red ticks. Let us tell you that there is absolutely no truth in the above claims and the government does not screen anyone’s WhatsApp.
