Dear Sir, I'm writing to inform you that my official number +[redacted]15 stopped working on WhatsApp recently due to using an unofficial version.

I kindly request your prompt assistance in restoring, unbanning, and verifying my aforementioned number as soon as possible. As an employee of the health department and an admin of several WhatsApp groups, it is crucial for me to have access to my official number.

Eight days ago, I woke up in the morning and noticed three messages on my mobile. They contained a six-digit code to reset Whatsapp, although I had not requested it. When I tried to reset the PIN, it prompted me to send an email, but I never received it. I later realized that this was due to not having "Two-step Verification" enabled on my Whatsapp. Now, after waiting seven days, it says that I have guessed the code too many times and to contact customer support. I have already emailed them but have not received a reply, and the issue remains unresolved. If you need more information, please contact me via Whatsapp at +91 [redacted]. I kindly request the restoration of my Whatsapp account under the same phone number.

Hello, I want to address an issue I am facing with my WhatsApp account. Recently, my account got banned due to some misunderstanding where some individuals reported my educational messages falsely. This has led to an inconvenience as my friends, family, and clients can no longer reach out to me. I hope this problem can be resolved soon. Thank you for understanding.

My WhatsApp number +[redacted] has been banned and I suspect it may be due to a violation of their terms. I have been attempting to contact WhatsApp to understand the nature of the violation and to apologize for any unintentional wrongdoing. Unfortunately, I have only received generic, AI-driven responses from WhatsApp which have not been helpful. I rely heavily on WhatsApp for communication with family, friends, and colleagues over the years, and I am eager to resolve this issue without having to change my number. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Hello, I have been a responsible and peaceful user for two years, but my account was suddenly banned. I've reached out multiple times for clarification on what I did wrong, to no avail. My account was then permanently banned. I later learned it could be retrieved after a month, so I created a new account to use in the meantime. Unfortunately, this second account was also banned. After the ban was lifted, I diligently reviewed the terms of service to check for violations but couldn't find any. Now, both my accounts have been banned again, and my contacts have been wrongly labeled as bad. I understand they cannot be unbanned prematurely, but I seek clarification on my violations for future reference. I am eager to rectify any mistakes and ensure responsible usage going forward. My contacts are +[redacted][redacted] and +[redacted][redacted]. Feel free to reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram, username: official_muha_mmed, or on Twitter as Muhammed4Oke. I look forward to a considerate response and fostering a positive relationship.

My WhatsApp account was inexplicably banned despite my long-standing use without any violations of terms of service. Today, when I attempted to log in, I was surprised to discover the ban. I have not been alerted or warned about any policy infringement by WhatsApp. I am disappointed and frustrated by this sudden action against my account. I am seeking an investigation into this issue and urge for the ban on my account to be lifted promptly. I can affirm that I have not participated in any activities that might have led to the suspension of my account.

My WhatsApp account was compromised. I received a verification code without sharing it, and despite deleting the message, I got calls asking for the code. Now, I've been logged out, my two-step verification code was changed, and my profile picture too. Is WhatsApp not securing its customers' accounts anymore? My long-standing number has been in use for over 15 years.

I am not receiving double tick notifications even after the recipient has received my messages on WhatsApp. Additionally, I am unable to receive any messages or make/receive calls on the app. The notification bar constantly displays "checking for new messages." I have checked my internet connection, APN settings, cache settings, and restricted data settings. I have rebooted my phone and reinstalled WhatsApp multiple times, but the issue persists. I kindly request assistance, but please refrain from contacting me via WhatsApp as I won't be able to receive the message. Thank you.

I'm encountering an issue with my WhatsApp. The app keeps notifying me that it is unofficial and prompts me to download the official version. Despite downloading both the official WhatsApp and the WhatsApp Business app, I am still facing the same problem. I've reached out to support, but they keep directing me to download the official version. I suspect there might be a restriction on my number as I've been trying different versions of WhatsApp for weeks now. I'm using a Huawei P40 Lite, and since it does not support Google services, I do not have access to the Play Store. Please assist me with this issue. My number is [redacted].

Hello WhatsApp team, My account was mistakenly blocked, and I believe it was done in error as I did not violate any of the terms and policies. I recently discovered that someone added me to a pornographic group without my knowledge, and I was held responsible for it. I am vehemently against such content and was unaware of being part of the group before my account was banned. I kindly request for the ban to be lifted so that I can regain access to my account. Thank you for your support in resolving this matter.
