Scottish Government ministers and staff will not be permitted to use WhatsApp or any other non-corporate communications channel to conduct Government business.
Kate Forbes addressed MSPs stating that the review's key question was regarding the use of mobile messaging apps like WhatsApp in government activities.
The decision to ban mobile messaging apps came after criticisms of ministers deleting WhatsApp messages during the UK-wide Covid-19 Inquiry.
The report recommended ending the use of these apps, emphasizing that government business should utilize secure and searchable government systems.
