Use Intune to block company file transfer on WhatsApp desktop

Question

Hi Everyone, Is there any way that I can stop file attachments from WhatsApp web and WhatsApp desktop on company laptops with Intune? or using any desktop security features from O365? Thanks & best regards, LonLee

@LonLee, Thanks for posting in Q&A.

Based as I know, WIP can protect data sharing between apps.

But as it is going to be end of support and the new function protect sensitive data will be in Microsoft Purview Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention

You can submit new thread in M365 forum to see if it can do this under Microsoft Purview Information Protection and Data Loss Prevention
