WhatsApp is blocking user accounts in unofficial applications
In WhatsApp they are getting serious about unofficial applications on the platform Android And it is that these tools, generically called clients, take advantage of the messaging system deWhatsApp to propose their own functions and tools Many of them even more advanced than the application itself original messagingReason why they are chosen by a good handful of users. However, from the official application they have decided to take action on the matter and have begun to suspend user accounts temporarily.
The incident has been taking place since yesterday, when many of the users of WhatsApp Plus, possibly the client most famous among the unofficial applications of WhatsApp, have started to see a account back that prevents them from accessing the service The message is clear: temporarily suspended A screen that, in addition to the 24-hour countdown, offers a brief further explanation: You have been temporarily suspended from WhatsApp because we suspect you have violated our Terms of Service. You will be able to use WhatsApp again in 24 hours.
And it is that the Terms of the WhatsApp Service are clear, betting on the official application as the only tool to use this messaging service . Something that also results in a guaranteed security and in avoiding many other operating problems that the user could attribute to WhatsApp when in reality it depends on the unofficial application that a developer wanted to create on their own. Of course, on the other side of the scale there are features as useful as the customization of all the details (backgrounds for each conversation, stickers, individual notifications), extended functionalities (know for months who read messages, remove limits when sending photos and videos ”¦) and a long etcetera more Questions that many users have enjoyed even before they got to the original application and that has managed to conquer a good number of them .
So now WhatsApp seems to want to prevent users from choosing these tools with extra features such as WhatsApp Plus or even applications like WhatsApp MD, which focuses exclusively on improving the visual aspect of the application. Of course, is not a permanent veto or the end of these client-applications, at least for now. For now, the temporary suspension only lasts 24 hours A first warning after which the user can go back to sending and receiving messages automatically usual
But, at this point, our recommendation is to uninstall and stop using these clients in favor of the original application. Something that WhatsApp itself states on its website as a solution to avoid suspensionAnd it is that WhatsApp has the power to suspend and delete user accounts forever So that it is not convenient to contradict them and end the possible warnings that these temporary suspensions may entail.
Also, you have to think about the security and privacy of conversations And that is, if the official application You've already raised suspicions about your problems, an independently developed application can be a breeding ground for problems of all kinds. Without leaving aside the question of the development of new tools, functionalities and services that WhatsApp is carrying out, such as those expected phone calls Possible reason why they want to clean up the unofficial customer service, after several years of operation,for a correct how these new features work.
