    @WhatsApp My account has been banned without violating any policy of whatsapp. Yesterday I joined the beta program of whatsapp and today my account was banned without giving the reason for ban. This is unethical. Please resolve the issue.

  • SaurabhRauniyar Saurabh Rauniyar (@SaurabhRauniyar) reported

    @MishiChoudhary @WhatsApp Thumb rule: always disable chat settings and never allow any chat app to store media received on the app to your phone. These things always get people into trouble. In US, person was arrested for murder after his iwatch showed intense workout when he was offloading the body.
