WhatsApp Flagged My Account as Spam for Creating a School Group

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. This makes no sense—I wasn’t spamming anyone. I was simply creating a group for academic purposes and adding real people I needed to connect with.
Now I’ve lost access to my account and can’t communicate with my classmates. I’m requesting immediate support to restore my account and remove this unjust restriction.
WhatsApp, please review this situation carefully. I followed your features as intended and have been unfairly penalized. I need my account reinstated and this issue resolved immediately.
