How to get your Banned WhatsApp Account Restored in 72 Hours (Based on Experience)

Getting banned by WhatsApp can be a painful experience but in this post, I will share with you how to get your Banned WhatsApp Account Restored in 72 Hours.

I was surprised to notice that WhatsApp had banned my phone number from the messaging app. This was a business account, and losing it means losing my clients as well.

Although I was furious, I decided to send a message of support.

This is the simple message I sent, which you should consider in the future if you get banned. Do not complicate issues with plenty of explanations.

I wrote to WhatsApp as follows: Hello WhatsApp… I just noticed I have been banned from WhatsApp… I have done nothing wrong. Check and restore my WhatsApp, please.

The above email via the app was responded to by WhatsApp after a few minutes.

Their message read:

Barely 72 hours later, I got an email that indicated that my phone number was banned wrongly. They flagged the number wrong and thought the number had violated their terms, but it turned out to be false. This action by WhatsApp calls for a law suit against them.

Well, the message that communicated their wrong decision read as follows:

Thanks for your message.

Our system flagged your account activity as a violation of our Terms of Service and banned your phone number. We value you as a user, and we apologise for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused.

After reviewing your account activity, we’ve removed the ban, so you should now have access to WhatsApp.

As a next step, we recommend re-registering your phone number on WhatsApp to ensure you have access.

The above is an indication that WhatsApp also makes mistakes sometimes when they ban phone numbers. This has happened to me a few times with another number. The worrying issue is that if you get ten or so people to report your number to WhatsApp for various reasons that may be false, WhatsApp will strike.

My earlier ban was an annoying one because my Facebook account was hacked, and since my phone number was connected and the hacker was using the account for publishing adult contents, calls from around the world started coming in, plus WhatsApp messages. Thinking I was helping WhatsApp, I started reporting all such numbers and could do between 50 and 150 blocks and reports a day. A week later, WhatsApp banned my number on the basis that I was abusing their system.
