The reasons why WhatsApp can block your account
Table of contents:
WhatsApp doesn't mess around when it comes to closing a user's account if they think they're misusing the account. We must tread carefully and not fall into any of the activities that the application penalizes. If when you go to use your WhatsApp service the following legend appears: «Your phone number is not authorized to use our service. Contact support for help" means your account has been temporarily or indefinitely suspended.
If you think it is due to a WhatsApp error, you should contact them through their email WhatsApp does not have to notify you if your account is going to be blocked. Basically, those responsible will be able to block your account if they consider that you are not making an acceptable use of their services. And what are the reasons why WhatsApp can block your account?
Blocks on WhatsApp: reasons for suffering it
Blocks on WhatsApp can be due to 5 main reasons.
Send messages to unknown numbers
If you send messages to phone numbers that you don't have saved in your phonebook, WhatsApp can detect a possible spam attack. When we send messages to unknown recipients, the reasons may be strictly commercial. That is why WhatsApp makes sure that messages are sent between people who really know each other.
Make sure, thus, that you have the people you are going to send the messages to in the agenda. So, before sending anything, add your own name to the contact and you'll be cured of he alth.
You suffer a massive block in a short space of time
Imagine that suddenly a large number of users block you on WhatsApp in a relatively short space of time. This point is closely related to the previous one. If you send a message, at the same time, to a large number of people that you do not have in the address book, they, in turn, can block you. They may feel invaded in their privacy, receiving a message from someone they do not know. So we return to the previous point. Don't send messages to anyone unless you have them on WhatsApp.
You create a WhatsApp group whose members do not have you on the agenda
We return to the same advice as always: for WhatsApp it is VITAL that all the phone numbers with which you interact in the application are known recipients. If you include a large number of unknown phones in a WhatsApp group, WhatsApp detects spam activity on your part. and proceed to block your account. To do this, we repeat, include in the phonebook all the phone numbers you want to talk to.
When you send the same message to many users
A particularly bloody case of sending spam is unceremoniously punished by WhatsApp. The fact that someone systematically sends the same message to many accounts at once is reason enough to block your phone number in the app. So that this does not happen to you, you must use the WhatsApp broadcast lists.
To create a broadcast list:
- Open WhatsApp, Go to the Chats screen > Menu button > New broadcast.
- Enter the names of the desired contacts or press the + button to select from your contact list.
- Press OK.
When you violate their Terms of Service in any way
This is the most general cause of possible blocks on WhatsApp. However, make sure you do not incur any of the 4 above, as they are the most serious. If you want to be aware of the WhatsApp terms of service, you can read them in full here.
