WhatsApp banned permanently

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the way my WhatsApp account has been banned without any proper reason or explanation. I have been using this WhatsApp number for the past 10 years, and suddenly my account was banned even though I have not knowingly done anything wrong or violated any rules. What is even more frustrating is that I have not been given any clear reason for why my account was banned. I have sent numerous emails and requests to WhatsApp Support asking them to review my account and explain the issue, but I have still not received any proper solution or meaningful response. This is really unfair because this number is very important to me and I have been using WhatsApp on it for several years.
Suddenly banning my account without providing a specific reason and then refusing to properly review or restore it is extremely disappointing. If I have made any mistake unknowingly, I am willing to understand and follow all WhatsApp policies in the future, but I genuinely believe that I have not done anything wrong that deserves a permanent ban. I respectfully request WhatsApp to properly review my case again, clearly explain the reason for the ban, and please restore my account. I have been patiently requesting help through multiple emails, but I am still not receiving a fair resolution. Please take my complaint seriously and give me a proper response instead of leaving my account banned without any explanation!!

Is this

Crash on iPad with iOS 17.7.11

It crashes at boot.
It worked fine until the previous version.
Incompetent testing, development, use of AI, or all of them? ;-)

Meta’s Algorithms Threaten Democratic Transparency

Meta’s influence over what billions see and believe raises serious concerns about elections worldwide.
Its algorithms can amplify political messages, bury others, and reward sensationalism or misinformation, often without explaining why. This can distort public debate, deepen polarization, and influence voters without their awareness.
No private company should have unchecked power over political discourse. Meta needs greater transparency, independent oversight, and accountability—especially during elections.

Democracy belongs to the people and not to corporations or their algorithms.

Electoral process

It is interfering in my country’s electoral process and undermining democracy by trying to force the election of someone who will refuse to regulate Instagram in my country

Clear phone calls

Great app for contacting friends and loved ones around the world for free. It’s a win win situation.

What’s with all the Updates?

I’ve had this app for quite some time, it was very reliable and easy to use. This past year the app suddenly decides that it needs to be updated every month and has connected to other apps which takes up all the memory on my phone.
So not only can I not update the app, I can’t get into it to delete all the messages, so it just keeps taking up more memory. They really need to do better.

Threat to Democracy in Brazil

It’s interfering in Brazilian elections

Está interferindo no processo eleitoral do meu pais e prejudicando a democracia.

App will not stay open

Updated my iPad and now the new updated WhatsApp will not stay open when I open it!

Best app ever

It’s the only app you could text your family members or friends

Optional yea right

If optional was an option then I don’t need to update my WhatsApp every second day like fr it has to be optional to update it on Mac cuz I don’t want some random update for some random filter that ill never use.
