See Reason Why WhatsApp Is Banning Users Recently - Don't Fall a Victim

Someone just contacted me to narrate his ordeal since today after been temporarily banned on WhatsApp. According to the guy, he is still confused 😕 on why his account was banned but after asking him some questions, i noticed he always sent too many messages to many people on whatsapp who are not in his contact lists. (probably he got them from groups). And this is a violation of whatsapp rules which is unknown to many. 

WhatsApp has risen and have started blocking users that violates their rules. Below is an official statement from WhatsApp about this development. 

"If we suspect that your account activity constitutes an abuse of our system, your account will be temporarily banned from using WhatsApp. You will receive a warning message in the app that contains the duration of this temporary ban.

During the temporary ban you will not be able to access any part of your WhatsApp account. You will be able to use your account again after the countdown timer runs out.

Below Are Activities That Can Lead To WhatsApp Ban

1. Sending too many messages to users who do not have your number saved in their address books. Make sure that you ask all of your WhatsApp contacts to add your current number to their address books.

2. Being blocked by too many people in a short period of time. Make sure you only communicate with people who want to receive messages from you.


3. Creating too many groups that contain users who do not list you in their address books. Make sure that you ask all of your WhatsApp contacts to add your current number to their address books.

4. Sending the same message to too many people. Use Broadcast Lists to send the same message to your contacts.

Meanwhile, the ban normally lasts for about 22hrs but could be more than that depending on the volume of violation. Now, Facebook owners have introduced the same banning stuff on Facebook to WhatsApp. You now need to be careful on your activities on WhatsApp unless you want to create a new account with new number. Just saying.
