WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, with over 2 billion active daily users. New features are introduced every few months, and more bots are assigned various functions to ensure proper use of the platform. People who violate the terms and conditions of the app may lose the ability to keep it using their account.
How do I know that my account can no longer use WhatsApp?
The truth is that you will know straight away once you open your WhatsApp. A message will be displayed “This account can no longer use WhatsApp.” Luckily, it does not wipe your chats, which are saved on your phone and can be restored once you get your account back. Hence, once your account is banned, it will be impossible to chat or do anything on the green app.
What can get my WhatsApp account banned?
Since messages and calls on WhatsApp are end-to-end encrypted, there can only be a few things to get your account flagged on the platform. Sometimes, their system mistakenly flags people’s accounts, which you can easily get back by requesting a review. However, you might lose your account for the things listed below.
- Using a third-party or Mod WhatsApp app
- Getting reported by too many people
- Getting blocked by too many people
- Switching between different phone numbers frequently
- Sending spam or too many messages
- Sending illegal, Threatening, or inappropriate content
- Sending misinformation
What happens when I can no longer use WhatsApp?
Once WhatsApp flags your account, you stop receiving messages. Of course, it will be impossible to send one, as what you will see when you open your WhatsApp is “this account can no longer use WhatsApp.” But from that screen, you can start the process of getting the account back.
How do I get my WhatsApp account back?
WhatsApp has probably flagged your account accidentally. It happens sometimes, and I have been a victim. Unfortunately, the process of getting the account back was simple.
- Launch your WhatsApp and tap Request a Review, highlighted in green below the message on your screen
- On the next page, add any details you wanna include in your review. If you believe your account was flagged accidentally, you should put that in your review and click Submit.
- WhatsApp will review your account and possibly restore it in a few hours, but it can take up to 24 hours.
- If the review is successful, you can log into your WhatsApp account again by verifying your account.
- A code will be sent to your mobile number. Enter the code, and your WhatsApp will start functioning again.
Conclusion
When you see this account can no longer use WhatsApp, it is mostly accidental. Always request a review, which takes a few minutes, and your account will be restored. You might have missed some messages sent during the time your account was disabled. Ask the senders to resend the messages again.
