Your number was banned, but you can still request a review

If you see that the number cannot use WhatsApp together with a review option, the ban can still be challenged. Tap Request a review in the app. WhatsApp says most reviews are completed within 24 hours and notifies you when it decides.

This is a best-practice scale based on WhatsApp's Terms and Business Messaging Policy. It is not a ban probability: Meta does not publish one.

Is your WhatsApp the sales channel?

The official API is the Meta-approved way to serve and send at scale, with approved templates, opt-in and a quality dashboard. Chatsac runs the official API for businesses.

It has its own rules and enforcement too: it is not a free pass for spam.

What not to do

  • Sending the request many times or contacting WhatsApp outside the process. WhatsApp says it does not speed up or change the decision.
  • Using someone else's account to ask for help.
  • Paying services that promise to unban.
