We would like to block staff from sending out certain file attachment like pdf, ppt via web whatsapp or desktop whatsapp. This is data security concern.

    @shelleyng, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based as I know, currently, Intune only has the app protection policy to restrict data sharing to managed apps. It does not provide a direct method to block specific file formats from being shared via web WhatsApp or desktop WhatsApp

    You can feedback in the following link to see if we can get this feature in the future.

    Thanks for your understanding.
