Are popular communication apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram) blocked in Pakistan?

Unlike some countries, Pakistan does not implement a 'Great Firewall,' meaning popular communication tools such as WhatsApp (including voice and video calls), Google Maps, and social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram are generally accessible. However, it's important to note that the government has the authority to, and occasionally does, temporarily suspend mobile data services in specific regions during times of civil unrest or national security concerns. This is typically a localized and temporary measure.
