How To Avoid WhatsApp Ban

Reasons That Led Your WhatsApp Account To Be Banned.

Most users just want to send lots of messages to lots of people in a very short time as a marketing way. This could be the main reason why their number gets banned by WhatsApp. However, here are some other reasons that led your WhatsApp account to be banned;

  • Sending too many messages in a short period, especially when using third-party broadcast/bulk messaging systems instead of the official WhatsApp API.

  • Sending a large volume of messages suddenly, particularly from a newly registered number.

  • Repeatedly sending the same message to a large number of recipients.

  • The ratio of sent and received is wrong. You are sending lots of messages but you receive very few messages.

  • Sending messages to unsaved contacts can also result in a ban. This means that you are sending messages to people whom you don’t know.

  • People report or block you that is the top reason for your number getting banned.

  • Use unofficial WhatsApp apps on your phone like GBWhatsApp or WhatsApp Plus.

Tips To Avoid Your WhatsApp Account Getting Banned

To avoid and reduce the risk of your WhatsApp number being banned, here are some tips:

  • Send messages only to your database. Don’t send messages to contacts scraped from groups or purchased lists. Make sure your recipients know who you are or what your business is about.

  • “Warm up” your new WhatsApp numbers first. Let the number engage in normal conversations with real people before automating it. Avoid bulk messaging too soon on a new number.

  • Use a new WhatsApp number on a device that has never been banned. This helps minimize the risk of being flagged again.

  • Always use the official WhatsApp app downloaded from the Play Store or App Store.

  • Use multiple numbers as the senders for broadcast/bulk messaging. Don’t rely on a single number. spread out the risk. You can use this feature in the Wasapmatic system.

  • Make your first message soft and friendly. Introduce yourself and avoid putting links in the first message. Use soft-selling or educational messages to build trust and reduce the chance of being reported.

  • Don’t send messages to everyone at once. Split your contacts into smaller groups and schedule messages at different times for each group.

  • Set an appropriate delay between messages. Avoid delays that are too fast (like 3–4 seconds). Use longer delays, such as 10 seconds or more, to stay under WhatsApp's radar.

  • Use Spintax or shortcodes in your messages to make each one slightly different.

  • Include an unsubscribe/opt-out link in your broadcast messages. Give recipients the option to stop receiving your messages instead of pressing the "Report" button.

Script Template To Review Banned WhatsApp Account.

If your WhatsApp account got banned for the first time, you still can ask the WhatsApp team to review your account.

You can create your message or you can use (copy) either one of these scripts:

Script 1:

Hi WhatsApp Support,

I believe my account may have been restricted by mistake. I use WhatsApp mainly to communicate with friends and contacts, and I did not intend to violate any policies. If any of my recent activity was flagged, I sincerely apologize and will make sure to follow all WhatsApp policies moving forward. Please kindly review my account and consider reinstating it. I truly value this platform for staying connected with my community.

Thank you.

Script 2:

Hi WhatsApp Support,

I understand that my recent messaging activity may have triggered a review. I use WhatsApp to reach out to my contacts and customers in bulk, but I always aim to send messages to people who have given consent or shown interest. I apologize if any of my activity was misinterpreted or violated the WhatsApp Business Messaging Policy.

I'm committed to complying with all WhatsApp policies moving forward and would appreciate the opportunity to continue using the platform responsibly. Please kindly reconsider my account for reinstatement.

Thank you for your time and support.

Script 3:

Hi WhatsApp Support,

I recently used an external tool to help manage and send messages to my customer list more efficiently. I now understand that this might go against WhatsApp’s policies. I sincerely apologize. My intention was never to abuse the platform, but to communicate with people who are genuinely interested in my service.

I have since stopped using the tool and will make sure to fully comply with WhatsApp’s Business Messaging Policy moving forward. I truly value WhatsApp as a platform for communicating with my customers and community. I kindly ask for your understanding and hope my account can be reinstated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

However, these scripts do not guarantee that your WhatsApp account will be recovered/restored. It still depends on to WhatsApp team.

If your WhatsApp account is restored, I strongly recommend that you avoid using it for any automation or message-blasting activities moving forward.
