My name is Maharashtra, and my WhatsApp phone number is # [redacted]. I engaged in a lengthy chat regarding legal and business matters with Mr. Saabir on September 3rd, [redacted]. This conversation spanned over 20 hours and multiple pages. Unfortunately, there seems to have been a glitch on your website, causing the chat to disappear from my account without my deletion. This conversation holds significant importance, especially regarding legal matters. Despite my attempts, I have been unsuccessful in retrieving the chat. I am aware that copies of chats are stored on your servers even if deleted. I want to emphasize that I did not intentionally delete this conversation.

Dear Team, I have been unable to access my WhatsApp (+92-[redacted]) for the past four days. I previously sent an email apologizing if I unintentionally violated WhatsApp's policies. I suspect my account may have been misused through phishing, leading to the ban. Could you please clarify the duration of the ban? This number is crucial to me as it is widely shared with my family and colleagues, making it difficult to stay connected without WhatsApp. I kindly request the ban to be lifted or at least provide an estimated timeline for its removal. Rest assured, I will adhere to WhatsApp's terms and conditions diligently in the future. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Bilal Tariq

I am currently in Austria on official military duty. The local agents provided me with this phone number for communication during my stay. However, I mistakenly tried to verify it on my phone before changing the SIM cards. Now, I am required to wait for 48 hours. This delay is critical as this number is essential for communication with my subordinates and relevant parties, who mainly use WhatsApp. I urgently need to resolve this issue as it has already been 45 hours. I cannot obtain another number as this one has already been shared with relevant individuals. I seek assistance to remove the timer or verify my number via a call. Should I involve the Austrian embassy to contact WhatsApp HQ in Menlo Park, California? This problem is significantly impacting communications for a military intelligence officer on official duty. Your prompt action is requested. Sr-Lt(Colonel) Siva.M.C Singapore Armed Forces ID: S[redacted]C

Hello, I am a recent graduate who encountered an issue. Today, on 12-25-[redacted] at 7:14 pm, I received a call from an unknown person at [redacted]4. They claimed to have mistakenly sent a code to my mobile number, [redacted]3, and requested me to resend it. Despite explaining that I was driving and would check later, the individual persisted, asking me to read out the code from my message box. Regrettably, I complied. Upon stopping my car to review the message, I discovered it was a WhatsApp verification code that I had shared mistakenly. Consequently, when I checked WhatsApp, I found a notification stating it was no longer on my device, as the person had taken control by using the code. I removed WhatsApp from my device, but it now requests a two-step pin, which the person set up. I am concerned about the potential misuse of my personal data and identity. Kindly investigate this matter promptly to help me regain access to my WhatsApp account. Thank you for your assistance.

My name is Rochell Aranha. I have been using WhatsApp on my Indian number for over three years until yesterday. My contact number is +91-[redacted]. I arrived in the United States in August [redacted] and began using an international number for calls and texts. Even so, I continued to use WhatsApp on my Indian number. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted a chat and need to retrieve a backup.

There are important messages on my WhatsApp on the Indian number. I kindly request assistance in reactivating WhatsApp on my Indian number immediately. You can reach me at my USA number [redacted]1 or email me at [redacted] I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Kind regards, Rochell Aranha

I am experiencing a serious issue with WhatsApp that I need assistance with. On 22.11.[redacted], I sent a text message to my son in Germany containing a photo. To my surprise, at 23:36 that evening, the next morning, this message and photo appeared on my Facebook page. A lady in Germany, who is not listed as a "friend" on my Facebook, saw this and was concerned. She contacted a work colleague who knows my son and reported it to him, providing a screenshot of the post. Since my Facebook page is restricted to "friends only," I am confused how this unauthorized viewer was able to see and share my photo. When I tried to verify this on my Facebook page, the post was not visible. Before I take legal action, I am reaching out to WhatsApp to explain how this privacy breach occurred. Facebook addressed my concern with a data policy statement but did not address the core issue. I am giving WhatsApp two days to provide a satisfactory response before escalating this concern. Thank you, Yvonne Harvey.

There are many instances when I read incoming messages but don't have time to respond immediately. As a result, I sometimes forget to reply later on because the conversation is marked read. It would be helpful to have an option to mark a conversation as unread like in emails, allowing us to see it as a reminder. Another useful feature could be a timed reminder with alarms and snooze options to prompt responses. Adding these features would greatly enhance communication efficiency. Thank you.

This afternoon, I previously mentioned my issue with transferring WhatsApp data from my old Samsung Galaxy Note4 to the new Samsung Galaxy Note9. The Note9 came as a Christmas gift with a new service provider, Verizon, while the Note4 was with MetroPCS. I'm stuck and haven't received assistance with this transfer despite using the same number on both devices. Any advice from the developers of this fantastic Social Media App would be appreciated. It's a shame it was sold to Facebook.

Hello, I am seeking assistance for a concerning situation regarding my WhatsApp account. An unauthorized individual gained access to my account and has started making unwanted changes, including altering my profile picture and status. This individual is now threatening to send abusive messages to my contacts. I provided my mobile number on a website as instructed by this person, which resulted in them hijacking my account. I have shared a screenshot of my mobile details and IMEI number for reference. To prevent further misuse of my account, I kindly request help in securing it and keeping this individual from causing any harm. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, M.K.

I have some important messages that have gone missing, causing me a big loss. I rely on WhatsApp for my business and it's crucial for me.

I attempted to switch phones with my wife. She previously used WhatsApp on an iPhone with the number +[redacted]90, while I used it on an Android phone with the number +[redacted]26. After swapping SIM cards and changing numbers, I encountered an issue. While I managed to switch to her number on my Android, I couldn't change her number to mine on the iPhone. I uninstalled and reinstalled WhatsApp on her iPhone, but activating it prompts for the last used number. Despite trying both my number and her original number, it remains unresolved. I suspect an error in entering +[redacted]26 on the iPhone. Seeking help to regain access to the WhatsApp account associated with +[redacted]90, registered under the name 'Danika'.

I believe my WhatsApp account has been compromised. Yesterday, I got a message from a friend on WhatsApp requesting a favor. Unaware that my friend's account had been hacked, I inquired about the favor. The person asked me to send an SMS, which I did, and then my account prompted for verification with a 6-digit code. Unfortunately, I struggled to receive the verification SMS despite waiting for hours. After finally verifying my account today, I was asked for a two-step verification code that I couldn't recall setting up. When attempting to reset it, no email was received. This situation is causing me inconvenience as WhatsApp is my primary means of communication. I urgently seek assistance in resolving this matter.

Dear Sir, I believe my WhatsApp number [redacted] was hacked yesterday around 3 o'clock. I received a call from the number 05[redacted]9 informing me that I won a lottery at Lulu Hypermarket for 2 lakh dirhams. I explained that I haven't made any purchases at Lulu Hypermarket and questioned how I won this lottery. The caller insisted I was a lucky winner for the new year and asked for my WhatsApp number. Naively, I shared it, and soon after, I received a message with two sets of 6-digit numbers. The caller requested these numbers, claiming it was for verification. Subsequently, I received multiple calls with verification codes and instructions to go to Lulu Hypermarket to claim my money. Unfortunately, my WhatsApp is now not working properly due to this incident, and I humbly request your assistance in resetting my WhatsApp number +[redacted]45 as I currently reside in the UAE. Thank you.

Hello, my phone number, +6[redacted], has been banned. I kindly request for it to be reinstated. Hello, my name is Jacky and I want to thank you sincerely for your response and help. I am grateful for pointing out my mistake. I deeply regret engaging in activities that violate the terms and conditions. I have thoroughly reviewed and understood the terms of service. This is genuinely my first and only offense. I assure you and WhatsApp that I will not repeat this mistake. I humbly ask for your forgiveness and leniency. I earnestly hope that WhatsApp will consider granting me the opportunity to restore my number. Regaining access to my WhatsApp is crucial as I have important personal and work-related data linked to it. Changing my number is not an option due to its significance. I have been unable to contact my family all day, causing them distress. I appeal to WhatsApp to reconsider my situation and offer me a second chance. I deeply regret my actions and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. I humbly seek your assistance in resolving this matter. Please consider showing me leniency in this regard. 😔😔😔😢😭
