I have been using WhatsApp for many years without any issues, but today I was surprised to see that my account has been banned. I have always followed the app's terms of service and have never received any warnings about violating them. I am very frustrated and upset about this sudden ban. I urge the WhatsApp team to look into this matter and remove the ban from my account promptly. I want to emphasize that I have never done anything to warrant this suspension, and I hope to have my account reinstated soon.

I forgot my PIN number for my WhatsApp account, which is set up with two-step verification. I also can't remember if I added my email address, [redacted], when I installed WhatsApp on my Moto G 3 phone with the number +[redacted]16. After uninstalling the account, I am unable to retrieve the PIN, as I didn't receive any link in my email to reset it. Since yesterday, I've been encountering another issue where, after entering my phone number, the app keeps buffering and never connects. Your assistance in resolving these matters would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am facing an issue with WhatsApp. I recently switched my mobile number from Jio to Vi, but I have retained the same number.

Can the WhatsApp team please assist me by sending the OTP verification code to my Gmail account, which is [redacted]? My mobile number is now +[redacted]99. Thank you for your help.

For the past few weeks, my account has been repeatedly banned, requiring me to request a review each time to restore access, which typically takes 24 hours. Unfortunately, I am now completely unable to use my WhatsApp account. I can confirm that I have not violated any terms and conditions nor used any unauthorized services. This ongoing issue is incredibly frustrating, and I am seeking assistance to resolve it.

For the past few weeks, I have been experiencing issues with my WhatsApp. An error message keeps popping up, stating that my number is no longer in use. I disabled two-step verification, but it still prompts me for the verification PIN. After waiting for 7 days to reset my account, the problem persists. I managed to log in again using my number, but the next day I got logged out with the same message. I contacted my SIM card customer service, and they indicated that this is likely an issue on the app side. Can someone please assist me in resolving this matter promptly?

Dear WhatsApp Team, I have two phones with two WhatsApp accounts due to using another SIM card. When trying to merge both accounts, I encountered an issue. Changing the WhatsApp number on my new phone did not load all the data from the other account, leading me to reverify my old phone. Unfortunately, I could not keep both accounts active, and one was shut down. Since the number on my new phone is no longer active, I am unable to reopen my second account to save the contacts. I am seeking a way to reopen the closed account and then change the number. The number of the closed account is: [redacted][redacted]. Additionally, as my Android version is becoming obsolete, I would appreciate any advice or assistance you could provide. Thank you.

I received a call from an unknown number instructing me to confirm a meeting code, after complying I noticed I couldn't access my WhatsApp account anymore. It's apparent that someone else has taken over despite my profile picture still being displayed. I kindly request WhatsApp to block the account associated with the number [redacted]0. I have now registered a new number on WhatsApp, and I urge for the old account to be blocked to prevent the hacker from misusing my image and number for fraudulent activities.

I previously had a WhatsApp account, but I deleted it over 12 months ago for security reasons. Currently, I do not have an active WhatsApp account. Despite this, my friends inform me that my number still appears to have a WhatsApp account linked to it. When my friends send me messages on WhatsApp, they are being received and read by someone else, even though I do not have the app installed on my phone or desktop. I have now tried to download WhatsApp again to address this issue, but I am unable to access the app as I need to enter a one-time password (OTP) to switch to my current phone. Unfortunately, the OTP is being sent to the hacker who is currently using my account and mobile number.

Dear Customer Service, I have followed all the steps provided, yet I am still not receiving the OTP code on my registered mobile number. Despite uninstalling the app multiple times, adjusting the sim card, and ensuring good reception, the code has not been coming through promptly. The previous code took 7 hours to arrive, and now it's showing 13 hours. I am considering using another phone to see if it helps. I appreciate your assistance. Regards, Anju A.
