How to report blasphemous content on WhatsApp in Pakistan

What you can report
You can report channels, groups, contacts and messages on WhatsApp that you believe contain blasphemous content. Menu names can differ slightly between app versions.
Step 1 – Report inside WhatsApp
- Open the chat, group or channel.
- Tap the three dots (⋯) or the name at the top, then “Report”. For one message: press and hold it, tap ⋯, then “Report”.
- Choose whether to also block, then confirm.
Step 2 – Copy the link and submit it to BR Portal
- Copy the link: for a channel use channel info → Share → Copy link; for a group use its invite link.
- Open the Quick Report box on the BR Portal homepage and paste the https:// link (up to 20 links, no login).
- Submit and copy your tracking ID.
Evidence worth keeping
- The full https:// link.
- Date, time and the username or page name.
- An unedited screenshot, if it is safe to take one.
After you report
Use the Track page with your tracking ID: Submitted means BR Portal received the report, Forwarded means it was passed on to the relevant authorities. WhatsApp decides separately what to do with the content after its own review.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to log in to submit to BR Portal?
No. Quick Report works without an account.
Can I report content from a private WhatsApp group or chat?
Only links the team can open can be reviewed. Private content may not open, so report it inside the app and mention it only if you can share an accessible link.
Will WhatsApp remove the content?
That is decided by WhatsApp after its own review. BR Portal does not remove content.
