6 things you may be doing on WhatsApp that could get your account banned
We may ban an account that is repeatedly reported. Automated or bulk messages: Don’t send bulk messages, auto-messages, or auto-dial on WhatsApp. WhatsApp uses machine learning technology and reports from its users to detect and ban accounts that send unwanted automated messages. Don’t create unauthorized or automated accounts or groups, or use any apps that mimic WhatsApp. Using someone else’s contact list: Don’t share someone’s phone number without permission or use data from illegal sources to send messages or add them to groups on WhatsApp. Excessive use of broadcast lists: Messages sent using broadcast lists will not be received by users unless they add your phone number to their contact list. Keep in mind that if you overuse broadcast lists, users may report your messages. Collecting personal information about WhatsApp users: Do not collect personal information about WhatsApp users through automated means for any purposes that are not permitted. Collecting personal information about WhatsApp users, such as phone numbers, profile photos, and statuses, violates our Terms of Service.
