I used Whatsapp till around 2am this morning then i dropped my phone to sleep. I woke up this morning and open the app to check messages and saw i have been banned from the app. I have never heard anyone say he has ever been banned and i don't even know what i did. They said i should contact support, i clicked on it and saw so many troubleshooting FAQ. They said, you can be banned if you are using 3rd party app like GB WhatsApp and other apps. Or if you are sending so many messages to people without your contact with Business WhatsApp. All these does not apply to me because i use the main WhatsApp not GB WhatsApp and i don't use Business WhatsApp to send messages to random people.

Who has ever encountered this or knows anyone that has encountered it and how was the issue resolved?

Or has my number been hacked?

Never been banned

Follow the instructrions written

.

I know there are punitive measures for using third party whatsapp app like GBWHATSAPP. But if you did not use it, reach out to support.
I also hope someone else didn't clone ur whatsapp and use it illegally.

No I have not but I know of two of my friends that were banned. But if u change line and phone, the ban go end

No, because I don't spread falsehood and misinformation, I prefer Facebook sha

Na waoo.

Yes, I've been banned before because I used a third party to send bulk messages.

But the ban got lifted after some days but can't remember how many days the ban lasted

You could be banned if you send spam messages and the people you spammed reported to WhatsApp.

Anyways you need to reach out to their support.

Happened to my friend today.. Reason: he was using GBwhatsapp

Try opening it with a different number.

What have you been using WhatsApp for? Confess. This was how boys came out to say Binance was blocking their accounts unjustly whereas they were using the accounts to do pickup.

I have been using GB WhatsApp from start..

I have never used normal WhatsApp.

So why would they ban me??

Nope, instead whatsapp go ban me I will rather ban them. Same goes to other social media platform including ********** if you know, you know.

My friend was banned 5 days ago but after writing to their customer service, he was unbanned.

Try buy now sim .

Probably because you sent broadcast messages that was reported.

Yes. I sent a message and they banned me. But, this is my current predicament:

On Saturday it started drizzling in the morning and I rushed out to collect my clothes on the line. So, instead of picking one by one I spread my arms and collected them. Unbeknownst to me, I collected my neighbour's daughter's undies. Nice blue undies I love the design and color.
So, when she returned from school she started asking neighbours and surprisingly no one else was home at the time it rained. Girl is only 19ish and she has called her pastor to the house and they have been fasting and praying. They are trying to escalate the case and they might start imagining that I am a ritualist.
How do I return the undies without problems? Or, should I just throw it away? Cos, once I go near the line now, they are always watching from their windows

Have you linked your NIN to your sim?

It happens to those that always use GB WHATSAPP...

Chill and uninstall WhatsApp from ur device.
Try using another number to create another account after which you have to redirect the number back to the one u r using or you write to their support for your unban

Yes, you get banned if you send unsolicited messages to people that you are not mutuals. You got reported and banned.

Stop sending unsolicitedmessages to people especially if they don't know you.

If people report you too much then banning is your penalty.

did someone report u?
