I am a public school teacher, and for the class I mentor I had to create a parent group on WhatsApp using my personal phone. Right after setting up this group, I received a warning that my account was “temporarily restricted.” The restriction lasted six hours, then repeated again in the same way. At this moment, I am unable to send messages to any of my contacts.
I contacted WhatsApp Support, but they did not give me a specific reason. The only explanation was a vague mention of “policy limits.” I have never sent mass messages, advertisements, or anything resembling spam. I have created parent and class groups before without any problem. Now my ability to communicate with parents and manage school-related tasks is blocked.
I also suspect that my account may have been targeted by a spam attack from someone trying to cause harm, as I strictly follow security practices. Two-step verification is enabled, and my device is fully protected.
I am demanding a clear and detailed explanation of why my account was restricted, with proper evidence. If this is a mistake caused by automated systems, I expect my account to be immediately restored and my grievance resolved without delay. WhatsApp must ensure that teachers and other professionals who rely on the platform for essential communication are not left vulnerable to false flags and unwarranted restrictions.
I was using the WhatsApp application on my Xiaomi 11 Lite device. Today, without any reason, my account was marked as spam and I cannot access my account right now. I believe my account was unfairly closed by being mass reported by a malicious group. I would like to state that this situation is completely unfair.
I contacted the support team regarding my account and was told it would be reviewed within 1 day, but no solution has been provided yet. I have never experienced such an issue before; this is the first time it has happened to me.
I request that my account be reopened and that those who carried out this attack on me be identified and necessary actions be taken. My phone number: 0542 *** 5772.
I'm a teacher, and I set up a WhatsApp group for an activity with my students. Out of nowhere, I got a notice saying my account was limited because of spam. This caught us off guard since the group was supposed to be just for learning. I can't use WhatsApp right now, and it's really messing up my co...
I am a teacher, and while setting up a WhatsApp group to inform parents about an upcoming exam scheduled for March 22, my account was suddenly flagged as spam and banned. All I did was add multiple parents at once to share important updates related to their children’s education. Now I have no acces...
I created a school group on WhatsApp and needed to add several classmates. Since I hadn’t saved all of their numbers as contacts yet, I used the search-by-number feature to find and add them directly to the group. Shortly after, WhatsApp flagged my activity as spam, and my account was restricted. T...
Without any warning, WhatsApp suddenly banned my account, claiming it was due to spam. I have no idea why—I didn’t create any groups, forward mass messages, or do anything suspicious. I simply use WhatsApp to stay in touch with family and friends, nothing more. This feels completely unfair. If ther...
