Are common social media and communication apps blocked in Uzbekistan?

There is a common misconception that Uzbekistan imposes broad restrictions on internet access similar to certain other nations. However, this is not the case. Major social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, along with essential communication tools like Google services and WhatsApp (including voice and video calls), are fully accessible without the need for a VPN. CoreESIM users can expect unrestricted access to these applications.
