My whatsapp was blocked by cloudflare due to a site that was linked to it.
I did not perform any unknown activity rather than just going offline, only to come back and it was blocked.
Please, how can i have my whatsapp account unblocked?

Cloudflare itself does not directly block WhatsApp accounts; instead, it might block access to websites or services that are linked to your account if it detects unusual activity. If your WhatsApp account was blocked, it's more likely due to WhatsApp's policies rather than Cloudflare.

Here are steps you can take to resolve the issue:

1. Understand the Cause
Review the email or notification from WhatsApp for details about the block.

Common reasons for blocking include:
Use of third-party apps like GBWhatsApp or WhatsApp Plus.

Sending spam or violating WhatsApp's terms of service.

Suspicious activity flagged by their system.

2. Contact WhatsApp Support
Open the WhatsApp app, and if you're blocked, you'll usually see a "Contact Support" option. Use it to explain your situation.

Alternatively, email them at support@whatsapp.com with the following details:
Your phone number (including country code).

A clear explanation of the issue.
Any relevant screenshots.

3. Verify Your Account
WhatsApp might ask for verification to ensure you're the legitimate owner of the account. Follow their instructions to complete this process.

4. Avoid Using Linked Sites
If the block is related to a specific site linked to your account, avoid sharing or interacting with suspicious links in the future.

5. Unlink Third-Party Tools
If you’re using unofficial WhatsApp clients or automation tools, uninstall them immediately. They violate WhatsApp’s terms and can lead to account suspension.

6. Be Patient
If this is your first offense or a misunderstanding, WhatsApp may lift the ban after a review. Temporary bans usually last 24–48 hours, but permanent bans require resolution via their support team.
