How to Recover WhatsApp Account Reported as Spam

In this article you will learn how to recover WhatsApp account reported as spam. First of all, we would like to inform you that there are two types of WhatsApp Messenger: one for business and the other for individual use. Both types of WhatsApp have their own terms and policies for usage. If you violate WhatsApp’s policies or rules, your account may get banned or blocked.

That’s why we want to share some important points with you to help prevent your WhatsApp account from being blocked. You should always keep these things in mind to avoid having your account banned or blocked by WhatsApp.

How to prevent your WhatsApp account from getting banned by mistake?

Think twice before forwarding a message to someone

WhatsApp has already assigned a tag to forwarded messages, marking them as forwarded – whenever we forward a message, it shows the ‘forwarded’ icon. WhatsApp has also set a limit on forwarding messages to only five people at a time to prevent the spread of fake or unwanted content in bulk. If you’re not sure whether the content is accurate, avoid sharing or forwarding it to prevent an unnecessary ban on your WhatsApp account.

Avoid using bulk messaging services or automated calling/messaging

There are many third-party and unofficial WhatsApp apps that offer bulk messaging or auto messaging and calling services. Please avoid using these as they can cause your WhatsApp number to be temporarily or even permanently banned.

Use the broadcast list carefully

Broadcast messaging is an option where you can create a list and send a message to everyone added to the list at once. However, the condition is that the recipient must have your number saved; otherwise, they won’t receive your message sent via broadcast. Don’t overuse the broadcast feature because if multiple people report your message, your WhatsApp account may get blocked.

It’s better if both parties save each other’s numbers before chatting

Try to ensure that both you and the person you are messaging have each other’s numbers and names saved on your phones.

Do not violate WhatsApp’s terms of service

According to WhatsApp’s policy, if you send offensive or inappropriate messages or engage in illegal or harassing behavior, your account will be flagged as spam, and it may get banned. For more information or examples of activities that violate WhatsApp’s Terms of Service, you can review the ‘Acceptable Use of Our Services’ section in the Terms of Service.

If multiple people have reported or blocked you

If several people block or report you within a short period of time, there is a high chance of getting banned. WhatsApp may ban your account if this happens. So, be careful before sending a message to an unknown contact.

WhatsApp is an app that is widely used in our daily lives. Almost every mobile user uses WhatsApp daily for conversations with friends, family, or for office purposes. Getting banned from WhatsApp feels like a nightmare, which is why it’s important to follow its rules and terms while using the app.

But the good news is that WhatsApp gives you an opportunity to unblock your account.

So, let us explain how you can recover your WhatsApp account if it gets blocked.

Step 1 – Reinstall WhatsApp

1. First, delete WhatsApp from your phone.
2. Re-download WhatsApp from the Play Store, App Store, or the official website.
3. Re-register your number with the 6-digit verification code.

This step will only work if your account is not banned; otherwise, you can follow Step 2.

Step 2 – Request a Review

How to request a review on WhatsApp?

1. Open WhatsApp.
2. Enter your blocked number and then click on ‘Next.’
3. Select the ‘Support’ option and enter the 6-digit verification code.
4. Carefully fill out the review application with a detailed explanation.
5. If you know the reason for the ban and have a clarification, mention it in the form, and then submit it.

After following these steps, you will receive a message instructing you to wait for 24 hours. Usually, WhatsApp unblocks your account within 3-4 hours after submitting the request review form, but you may still have to wait up to 24 hours.
