WhatsApp Banned My Account After I Created a Group with Non-Contacts

113

I created a group on WhatsApp and shortly after, I received a warning saying my account is no longer usable due to spam activity. Since then, I’ve been completely locked out of WhatsApp, and I can’t use the app at all.

I want to make it clear that I did not violate any rules intentionally. The only thing I did was add some members to the group who weren’t saved in my contact list. If this simple action is considered a violation, then the system is flawed. It's absurd to flag and ban an account just because group members aren't saved in my phone.

I demand that my account be reinstated immediately. WhatsApp, you need to provide a clear explanation and review this action. This has caused a major disruption in my communication, and I won't accept being penalized for something so minor.
