Authorities say the platform has not cooperated with the government.
Nepal has decided to block several major social media platforms, including Facebook.
According to a foreign news agency, a statement issued by the government on Thursday said that access to several social media apps in the country will be blocked.
Authorities claim that these platforms have not cooperated with the government in taking action against abuse of them.
The Nepalese government claims that people with fake accounts are spreading rumors and hateful content on social media, which is increasing cybercrime and affecting social harmony.
It should be noted that 90 percent of Nepal's 30 million population uses the internet, which has further exacerbated the severity of the problem.
Earlier, authorities gave all social media companies until Wednesday to register with the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, appoint a local coordinator, appoint a complaints officer and ensure implementation of the code of conduct, otherwise they would be banned.
