-
香港 (@esim8888) reported@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 Just your outdated system refusing real users.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.

Agfox (@AgostinhoR54225) reported@WhatsApp Dear WhatsApp team, I hereby request a review of the ban applied to my number +258 84 011 7354. I use this account mainly for professional and customer service purposes, because I am a small entrepreneur in the area of financial services. I have always been careful to respect the terms of use of the platform. However, I recently received a notification stating that my account was banned, without a clear explanation of the violation committed. I would like to ask you to reevaluate this decision, or at least tell me exactly what the alleged infraction was, so that I can correct any mistake made. Thank you for your attention and I am willing to collaborate with any necessary adjustments to continue using the platform responsibly. Sincerely,

Jesse (@shasky16) reported@WhatsApp @wa_status @WhatsApp fix your statuses 1. Change the priority or at least make it optional so we can decide in order of view 2. Fix the fact that I have to click on status and end up in someone’s status. It’s very annoying!!!!
