Will government agencies still send me messages through WhatsApp and Telegram?
Government agencies in Singapore use SMS messages sent from the gov.sg Sender ID as the primary method to send personalised notifications, reminders, and updates directly to individuals. WhatsApp and Telegram accounts owned by government agencies will still be in use, but limited to mass marketing and informational messages, as well as group chats used for direct communications with members (e.g. community groups within GRC or Town Council community groups).
