An appeals court judge in Brazil has
lifted a suspension on messaging service WhatsApp, which was blocked on
Monday May 02,2016 affecting millions of users.
The original suspension was ordered because WhatsApp's owner Facebook failed to hand over information requested in a criminal investigation.
The service is widely used in Brazil where mobile owners face steep charges.
The 72-hour suspension came into force on Monday afternoon local time and applied to Brazil's five main mobile operators.
The judge - Marcel Montalvao - said that the company had failed to fully explain to the authorities why it would not help police with their investigations into drug trafficking.
