How to Restore Access to a Blocked Business WhatsApp Account

If your WhatsApp account has been blocked, you can request a review through multiple official channels. Below are the step-by-step methods to appeal the ban, along with important guidelines.


1. Request Through the WhatsApp App

This is the most direct method to appeal a ban.

Steps:

  1. Download the official WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app on your phone.

  2. Open the app using the blocked phone number.

  3. Tap "Request a review" when prompted.

  4. Compose your appeal message using the provided template (see Sample Message below).

  5. Submit and wait for WhatsApp’s response (typically within 24 hours).


2. Submit a Request via WhatsApp’s Contact Form

If the in-app option is unavailable, use WhatsApp’s official support form.

Steps:

  1. Go to WhatsApp’s Contact Page.

  2. Fill in the required details:

    • Phone number (with country code).

    • Valid email address.

    • Under "Select a product", choose "WhatsApp for computers".

  3. Subject line:

    • Write:

      I kindly request you to unblock number [Your Phone Number].  
  4. Message body:

    • Follow the Sample Message (see below), replacing placeholders with your details.

  5. Submit and await WhatsApp’s reply.

Expected Response:

  • First email: Confirmation of request receipt.

  • Second email: Decision (unblock approval or denial).


3. Send an Email to WhatsApp Support

If other methods fail, you can directly email WhatsApp’s support team.

Steps:

  1. Compose an email to:

    support@support.whatsapp.com  
  2. Subject line:

    I kindly request you to unblock number [Your Phone Number].  
  3. Email body:

    • Use the Sample Message (below), customizing it with your details.

  4. Send and wait for a response.

Expected Response:

  • Two emails (confirmation + final decision).


4. How Often Can You Request an Unban?

  • Only one appeal is allowed at a time.

  • If your number is blocked repeatedly, wait a few days before submitting a new request.

  • If your appeal is rejected, wait at least a month before trying again.


5. Common Reasons for Ban Denial

WhatsApp may reject your appeal if:
❌ Users reported your account for spam or abuse.
❌ Automated tools were detected (e.g., excessive API checks without sending messages).
❌ Violation of WhatsApp’s Terms of Service (e.g., bulk messaging, fake accounts).

How to Avoid Future Bans:

✔ Avoid third-party WhatsApp mods (e.g., GB WhatsApp, FM WhatsApp).
✔ Do not send bulk messages to unknown users.
✔ Use WhatsApp naturally (avoid bot-like behavior).


Sample Appeal Message

Dear WhatsApp Support,  
My WhatsApp account linked to +[Your Phone Number] has been blocked. I believe this was a mistake because:  

- I only use WhatsApp for personal communication.  
- I comply with WhatsApp’s Terms of Service.  
- I have not used unauthorized third-party apps.  

Kindly review my case and restore my account access.  

Best regards,  
[Your Name]  
[Your Email]  
[Your Phone Number]  

Final Notes

  • Be patient—WhatsApp may take 24–48 hours to respond.

  • Avoid spamming requests, as this may delay resolution.

  • If permanently banned, you may need a new phone number
