Canada has banned the use of WeChat and Kaspersky applications on government-issued mobile devices.

Canada's Treasury Board department, which is in charge of day-to-day government administration, on Monday said officials determined the applications present "an unacceptable level of risk to privacy and security."

The ban takes immediate effect, the government said.

WeChat, an instant-messaging platform, is owned by China-based Tencent Holdings.

The Federal Trade Commission last year said equipment and services from Russia-based Kaspersky posed a threat to national security.

Earlier this year, Canada banned the TikTok app from government-issued devices, also citing security risks, following the lead of U.S. and European authorities.
