Hello WhatsApp Support Team, My number has been banned without any reason, even though I have not violated any community standards, WhatsApp terms of use, or any other reason that would be considered a violation of WhatsApp policy. Therefore, I kindly request a review of the ban on my WhatsApp account and the lifting of the ban on my account as soon as possible so I do not lose contact with my important clients and incur more losses than I have already experienced in my work. My WhatsApp account number is: +[redacted] [redacted] [redacted] I would be grateful for your understanding of my issue, and very thankful if my problem is resolved, the ban on my account is lifted, and I can communicate with my clients in the near future. Best regards, WhatsApp Support Team

I have recently acquired a new phone number from Verizon. Seeking to update around [redacted] contacts on WhatsApp about my new number, I drafted a message starting with "Hello... I have a new number for WhatsApp..." and concluded with my name, "Harlow." I attempted to efficiently forward the message to contacts in batches of five. Unfortunately, after forwarding to approximately [redacted] to [redacted] contacts, I was unexpectedly banned from WhatsApp with no explanation. I promptly responded through their "review" link but have not received a response. This situation is frustrating as I was merely updating my own contacts. I am unsure how to proceed as it seems challenging to reach a human at WhatsApp to address this issue. Any guidance or assistance would be appreciated. Thank you, Harlow Russell

Around four days ago, I received a call from a lady who claimed to be from a WhatsApp prayer group. She asked me to check my messages for an invitation code to a prayer meeting. Little did I know, this was a scam to hack into my WhatsApp. They successfully hacked my number and are now using it to scam my contacts. I urgently request WhatsApp to disable this number, +[redacted]37, to prevent further fraud. My name is Deogratius Makanya.

Hello, I am experiencing a verification issue with my WhatsApp account. I used to have WhatsApp on my old Samsung phone and it was backed up. Now, I have a new Huawei phone but when I try to verify my number, I am not given the option to use the verification code on WhatsApp. Despite reinstalling the app multiple times, the issue persists. Additionally, the app states that I have no backups, although I do. I would appreciate assistance in resolving this verification problem and the backup discrepancy so I can successfully use my verification code and retrieve my chat history. Thank you.

Good Afternoon Sir 🙏🏼 Sir, I am seeking your assistance. Today, on 10-03-[redacted], my WhatsApp account with the number +[redacted]76 was unexpectedly banned by your security team.

I am sharing below the email I sent to WhatsApp in an attempt to resolve the issue of being locked out of our account. The quoted parts are from WhatsApp, and the parts in between quotes are my comments. I apologize for the inconvenience. It appears that you may have an inactive or missing SIM card. Without a working SIM, you won't be able to activate your WhatsApp. A registration code is crucial to verify your phone number. Kindly register using SMS or a phone call as we cannot send the code via email for security reasons. "Our SIM card is active, and we receive a registration code, but upon entering it, we encounter an error message: 'This account cannot use WhatsApp...'. I have attached a screenshot of this message for your reference." Activating your account requires verifying your phone number with a code and having: - An active SIM card for the number being activated. "I contacted Tello, our service provider, who confirmed the validity of our account and SIM card (number XXX-XXX-XXXX). We are using a regular phone number, not a VoIP." - A stable internet connection to receive the code. "We have stable internet and cellular connections. We are not currently abroad or roaming." Please ensure your prepaid line has enough balance for SMS and calls. "Our line is not prepaid."

Hello WhatsApp Team, My name is Hammad, and my WhatsApp number is +[redacted]7. I agree to respect all of WhatsApp's terms and policies. However, my account was mistakenly banned even though I have not violated any rules on the platform. I use WhatsApp to share important educational messages, but unfortunately, some individuals have falsely reported my account, leading to its ban. This has caused a significant issue for me as my friends, family, and clients are unable to contact me on my official WhatsApp number. I kindly request that WhatsApp reviews my account and lifts the ban promptly. I trust that you will understand the situation and help me regain access to my number. Thank you.

I have been dealing with a stalker named Curtis Elliott in Houston, Texas, and surrounding areas. Personal details of my life are being exposed on WhatsApp, even though I am not a member. This individual has been following me, even endangering my family. He has used satellites to invade my privacy, broadcasting my every move. This has caused me to lose my job, clients, and respect in my community. My safety and well-being are at risk, and the situation has become unbearable. If you can assist, please contact me at [redacted]-[redacted]-5*** as soon as possible. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

I want to assure you that I agree to respect all of WhatsApp's terms and policies. However, I believe there may have been a mistake as I have been banned from WhatsApp due to some users wrongly flagging or reporting my account.

I hope for your understanding and prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you for your help. Yours sincerely, Yogesh P.S. My valid documents issued by the Indian government include my Aadhar card number ending in _3[redacted] [redacted].

My number was blocked on Whatsapp ([redacted]) because of an issue with spam, and now I am unable to register on a new number ([redacted]) as it is also being blocked. I rely on Whatsapp a lot for communication with my friends, so not being able to use it is causing me stress. If my numbers could be unblocked, it would really help me out. If there was any misuse of the terms of service, it was unintentional, and I apologize for that. I hope to receive a positive response soon. Thank you and God bless.

My account was banned, and despite multiple emails sent, only 1 representative responded, claiming it was reported several times. This is hard to believe as I only communicate with the same group of people and avoid unknown groups. Upon reflecting on the events leading to the ban, I realized I installed a third-party app while transitioning from my iPhone to Android. I reached out to support for assistance, but unfortunately, they have not replied to any of my emails in the past two weeks.

I updated my phone about a month ago and since then, my calls through T-Mobile to the Caribbean, specifically the [redacted] area code, have been dropping. I've been a T-Mobile customer for 2 years and never had any issues with long-distance calls until the recent update from you for community purposes. Every call I make now gets disconnected before I can have a proper conversation. The problem only seems to occur with T-Mobile calls, as calls made through WhatsApp work fine. Could you please address this issue and ensure that my long-distance calls stop dropping? Thank you.

Hello, I have encountered repeated issues with my account being banned within a short period of time. Initially, my first contact was banned three times until my current contact got banned today around noon. Despite reaching out to support, I was simply informed that my account was allegedly sending spam, which is very distressing for me. I am a person of faith and try to adhere to values important to me, yet the responses from support have not provided clarity on the situation. I am concerned that either my device or communication lines have been compromised, leading to this unfortunate experience. I urge for a thorough investigation to prevent such occurrences for other users. As a young individual enjoying my vacation after completing my studies, this situation has deeply affected me emotionally. I plead for assistance and transparency regarding the messages being flagged. Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I recently celebrated my best friend's birthday, who is a girl. Unfortunately, some of my other female friends got jealous and either blocked me or reported me. To show my friend love on her birthday on March 3rd, I changed my profile picture to hers. However, I received a message on WhatsApp informing me that my version would be outdated in 12 days and faced delays in the updating process. Despite receiving numerous codes, I couldn't log in to my account, and upon trying to do so, I was told my account was not permitted to use WhatsApp and to register another number. I've been using the number +[redacted][redacted] for WhatsApp for over a decade, and I urgently need help in recovering my account.
