How to appeal a WhatsApp Ban?
Steps to get your Account Back!
Here we will guide you through the process on appealing the ban for your Whatsapp number.
🔍 Step 1: Identify the Type of Ban
There are two main types of bans:
- Temporary Ban: You’ll see a timer — usually caused by using unofficial apps.
- Permanent Ban: You'll see a message saying, “Your phone number is banned from using WhatsApp.”
If you're permanently banned, you’ll need to appeal to WhatsApp directly.
📩 Step 2: Contact WhatsApp Support
Appeal via WhatsApp App (Recommended)
If you still have access to the app:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Tap "Request a Review" or "Contact Us" from the ban screen.
- Write a short, polite message explaining the situation.
- Include:
- Your phone number in international format (e.g., +60123456789)
- Clarify if you are using WhatsApp Business.
- Mention any possible reasons for the ban and your intent to comply with WhatsApp policies.
Tip: If your account was hacked or you believe it was a mistake, mention this clearly.
Option B: Via Email
Send an email to support@whatsapp.com with the following details:
- Subject: Appeal for Banned WhatsApp Account
- Your phone number in international format (e.g., +60123456789)
- A clear explanation of the situation.
- Mention if you're using WhatsApp Business or any third-party tools (e.g., ChatDaddy).

✅ Step 3: What to Expect
- WhatsApp typically responds within 48–72 hours.
- Avoid sending multiple appeals, as it won’t speed up the process.
- If eligible, WhatsApp will reinstate your account or provide further instructions.
⚠️ Important Notes
- If your account was banned for repeated violations, WhatsApp may not reinstate it.
- Provide clear, respectful communication in your appeal.
- Keep records of any suspicious activity that may have led to the ban.
