What to Do if Your WhatsApp Number is Banned

If WhatsApp has banned your phone number, here’s a simple guide on how to ask them to unban it.

First Step: Ask for a Review in the App

If you think WhatsApp banned your account by mistake:

  1. Open WhatsApp on your phone.
  1. You should see a message saying your account is banned. Tap Request a review.
  1. WhatsApp will check your case. This might take some time.
  1. You can open WhatsApp again later to check the status of your request.
  1. Important: Sending more than one request will not speed up the review.
  1. WhatsApp will send you a message in the app when they finish their review and make a decision.
