I've been contacting WhatsApp support with no luck. Someone tried to hack my account and even reset the Verification number. I deleted my account temporarily to secure it, but now I'm having trouble retrieving it. Despite providing my phone number and email multiple times, support is insisting I wait 7 days. I'm concerned because there has been no response to my request.

Unfortunately, my old SIM card expired before I could update my WhatsApp number. Last Friday, I was unexpectedly logged out and now I can't access my account. I really need to get it back as I have important media and conversations stored there. I find it frustrating that WhatsApp's authentication process is solely reliant on the SMS channel, as I can no longer receive messages on my old number.

I have been using the phone number +91-[redacted] on WhatsApp for the past 15 years. My work relies heavily on this WhatsApp account. Unfortunately, my account has been banned for the third time since yesterday, even though I have not violated any of WhatsApp's terms. I am facing issues as my account is reinstated after 4 to 5 hours only to be banned again. I have contacted support through emails multiple times, but I have yet to find a permanent solution to use my number on WhatsApp without any problems.

My WhatsApp was hacked by an unknown individual. They called me, claiming they wanted to add me to a group and sent a 6-digit verification code. Once I entered it, I lost access to my account. Now, acquaintances are alerting me that someone is chatting with them using my account. I found out my WhatsApp on a Samsung M13 android phone is no longer working. I've been trying to re-register, but the 6-digit verification code is not being sent to my SIM. I need help recovering my account, specifically by re-sending the verification code to my phone.

My number +[redacted][redacted] got banned yesterday erroneously. I have reviewed the terms of agreement multiple times and tried numerous ways to get WhatsApp to lift the ban and restore my account. This number is primarily used for humanitarian and charitable purposes, and my subscribers are feeling the impact of the ban. I kindly request for the ban to be lifted and my account to be restored. Sincerely, Prof. Matthew Akinyele Oshuntogun.

I recently relocated from the UK to the Philippines and updated my WhatsApp number to reflect the local SIM I purchased. However, today I encountered an issue with accessing my account. Despite having a working new local number, WhatsApp is not accepting it during the account recovery process. The app prompts me with a message checking if the number is correct and does not allow me to proceed. Restoring my account is crucial for my work activities.

I have disabled the Disappearing Messages feature, but I am experiencing an issue where messages still disappear for certain contacts like Scott McLean on my Mac while they remain visible on my iPhone. Despite setting the feature to "OFF" on both devices, this problem has hindered my work, especially with important accounts on September 18, [redacted]. I have tried disabling Disappearing Messages for each problematic contact individually, but the messages continue to vanish. This forces me to access my email on my iPhone to retrieve the missing messages and work on them. I need a solution to address this frustrating situation.

Hello, On September 10th, after returning from a night shift, I received a call from someone claiming to be Sam from my workplace, informing me of a Zoom meeting. Shortly after, a code was sent to my phone, and the caller - actually a hacker - requested the code. Unfortunately, I unknowingly shared the code with them before falling asleep. Upon waking up, I realized that my WhatsApp account had been compromised. Throughout the day, I received calls from people saying I had requested large sums of money from them. The hacker even contacted my wife seeking money. I'm reaching out for help to regain control of my WhatsApp account. I appreciate any assistance to resolve this issue promptly. Thank you for your support. Best regards, A.A.

I received a message stating that my phone number has been banned from using WhatsApp. The message indicates that my account activity may have violated their Terms of Service. They suggest reviewing the “Acceptable Use of Our Services” section in their Terms of Service for more information on appropriate WhatsApp use and prohibited activities. WhatsApp may ban accounts without prior warning. If you suspect your account was mistakenly banned, they advise emailing them to investigate your case. Just wanted to share this experience and seek advice from others who may have encountered something similar.
