Review an 'Account Not Allowed to Use WhatsApp' Spam Ban
Source-checked About 5 minutes
Answer
If WhatsApp says your account is not allowed to use WhatsApp and you believe that decision is a mistake, use the Request a review control in the official app. Only WhatsApp can review the restriction; do not use modified apps, automation, or another number to bypass it.
Open the official WhatsApp app
Use WhatsApp on the phone with the restricted number. Do not install a modified client or use a third-party unban service.
Read the restriction message
Confirm that the screen says the account is not allowed to use WhatsApp, then read any review information shown there.
Choose Request a review
Tap Request a review only when WhatsApp offers it in the app. This asks WhatsApp to assess the account decision.
Describe the mistake briefly
Provide truthful, relevant context if WhatsApp asks. Do not include passwords, one-time codes, or another person's private information.
Submit once and wait
Send the request and wait for WhatsApp's in-app decision notification instead of repeatedly submitting requests or creating a workaround.
Follow the official outcome
If WhatsApp restores the account, continue with the official app and its policies. If it does not, do not try to evade the decision with automation or altered software.

If it does not work
- If Request a review is absent, this page cannot create one. Keep the exact message and use WhatsApp's official support surfaces rather than a paid recovery offer.
- Do not send verification codes to anyone claiming they can overturn the restriction.
- Keep a screenshot of the exact restriction only for your own support record, and remove any visible phone number or private chat content before sharing it.
