Ardavan Yousefi has gotten so used to life under Iran’s sweeping internet restrictions that for him, a recent decision to lift a ban on messaging service WhatsApp went virtually unnoticed.

“Oh wow, is it really removed now?” Yousefi, a cafe owner from the capital Tehran, said of the two-year ban on the popular application.

To be certain, he switched off his virtual private network (VPN) encryption service, which allows users to mask their locations and bypass firewalls, and sent a message.

But while WhatsApp and Google Play services have been restored in a decision late week by Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace, many other platforms remain banned.
