Many businesses across various industries were forced to adapt the remote working setup – a way to continue business operations amidst the COVID-19 pandemic while ensuring employees’ safety at their home’s confinement.

In October 2021, WhatsApp, with 2 billion active users, saw that 100 million messages are sent daily, including voice and video calls. Aside from WhatsApp, the usage of mobile messaging applications such as WeChat, Telegram, and Signal has significantly increased. All of which can benefit the business but can negatively affect companies without due diligence.

While it is the easiest way to connect, organizations must prohibit it for business use or better yet, establish Verizon text archiving solutions to record and archive mobile communication.
