Inappropriate emojis will be removed from internal messengers

Under the supervision of the Information Technology Organization, inappropriate emojis that are not compatible with Islamic customs and laws will be removed from internal messengers in the next update.

Since the structure of internal messengers is built on the foundations of external messengers, especially Telegram, many of Telegram’s features have been transferred to internal examples without change and as a package. For example, the emojis of internal messengers such as Ita, Yes, and Rubika, which have the same pattern as Telegram emojis, have led to protests from a group of users.

As a result, some families, who play the role of guardians, want to filter this group of emojis.
