Getting back to WhatsApp



  1. Send an email to support@whatsapp.com from your official email ID. Explain the usage pattern and request for removing the ban. 
    • When you get a message that your number is banned, there is a popup with two buttons. Support and cancel. 
    • Click on Support. 
    • On the next screen click on none of the reasons above. 
    • Now WhatsApp will open your Email Client and compose a message. Don’t press send yet. 
    • Two things you need to do before you hit send. 
      1. Change email ID to support@whatsapp.com (original message will have something that says support@smb.whatsapp.com – this does not work). 
      2. Write a personal message, why your number should be unbanned. 
    • Please include the log file that is generated
  2. You will get an auto-response saying that they are looking into the same. 
  3. After 4-24 hours, you should get a response and your WhatsApp number will get activated. 
    • This may or may not happen based on what is detected by their servers. 
  4. After 2-3 Ban, there can be a PERMANENT BAN. After that WhatsApp does not even respond to your email queries. 
  5. Be careful the above process is not guaranteed to work always. 
  6. We have to remember that WhatsApp is a private company and not a govt department. Your logic does not apply there.
