Question

Hi there 
 
 Please could someone give me an idea on how to setup Sophos XG115 to enable mobile devices to access WhatsApp only. Sorry I have some some posts on this, but would like a detailed guide if possible. 
 Thanks

Hello Sheyn Lock , Thank you for reaching out to the community, there is the following guide which helps block what's app, you can follow the same procedure for allowing what's app only. RR - Sophos Firewall: How to Block Whatsapp Video call 
 
 Instead of selecting the action as deny, you can select allow. You can also Allow/block websites using custom categories and/or URL groups .
