    @WhatsApp you could review the circumstances surrounding this issue. I have always tried to comply with whats app terms of service and have not engaged in any activities that would violate your guidelines. Therefore, I suspect that ban might have been triggered inadvertently.

    @China370509943 @WhatsApp It's very unacceptable. I have sent mails to customer support but nothing's been done. @WhatsApp you have to do something, I can't keep having to buy different numbers just to be on WhatsApp. That's terrible

    @WhatsApp WhatsApp blocked me from registering with a legit T-Mobile US number, calling it "invalid." It’s NOT VoIP. It’s NOT virtual. Just your outdated system refusing real users. Fix your broken verification. Stop wasting our time. Absolute trash.

    🚨 WhatsApp Web flaw: Lock a chat named "Rahul" & set secret code as "rahul". Now search "Rahul" — 🔓 chat opens with no auth. I’m a developer — this looks like a logic flaw. Happy to share steps with @WhatsApp to help fix. #PrivacyBug #WhatsAppWeb #CyberSecurity

    @whatsappforbiz You are so lazy in customer service @WhatsApp, review customer support issues carefully! Banning numbers without clear reasons hurts businesses & users. My number +234701455574 was banned for almost a month. Can you explain why? #WhatsApp #CustomerSupport "

    @WhatsApp please please please help me. I am a medical clinic and my account has been blocked for 24hrs. This is critical! It is a live situation. I did nothing to cause this. I was changing from iPhone to android and back up chats and moving from WhatsApp business. Help

    @WhatsApp @wa_status Hate the WhatsApp Status feature. Used to block it by denying contact access, but seems broken on iOS now. WhatsApp, before you meet Facebook’s fate, please give us an option to disable Status completely. Thanks!

    @Narendra3105198 @WhatsApp WhatsApp banned my number for no reason. I don’t spam, I don’t violate rules and still, they shut me down. Support was useless. @Drezfixx here on Twitter handled it like a pro and got it unbanned. 10/10 recommend.

  • esim8888
    WhatsApp Rubbish (@esim8888) reported

    @finkd @WhatsApp WhatsApp in 2025: Can’t register. Can’t verify. Can’t get help. It's not a messaging app anymore — it's a dead app store icon. If Meta won’t fix it, they should bury it.

    @WhatsApp @WhatsApp Please allow group admins to disable or delete accidental voice chats. After the first use, there’s no confirmation anymore, and it often confuses older users. This can cause real disruption. An option would really help. Thank you!
