Are You Temporarily Banned From Whatsapp Too? Then Read This

Posted by Unknown

My Experience

I have been using whatsapp+ (Plus) for the past 6-7 months as it provided the user with online toasts,better view, and the themes were better than the default theme WhatsApp provided.

It was exactly 12:00am in the morning (21/1/2015) when my phone notification light came up which woke me up...

This is what it showed

Possible Reasons

I had received this alert many times earlier...so this is not a first thing...

If you are sending multiple messages to users who do not in add you in their contact or address book. Ask them to first add your number in their address book, only than you can send multiple messages.

If you are blocked by too many users in a very short span of time due to your suspicious activity. You have to ensure it that you are sending messages only to the people who want to receive messages from you.

If you are creating too many groups on WhatsApp and are adding too many people in the groups. Make sure that others also add you in their list. If you keep adding others without others adding you back in their address book, you may be temporary ban from using WhatsApp.

The same message and countdown can come when you

Send messages to users who don't add you in their contact (Around 50/so texts would ban you)
If you are blocked by many users in a short span of time..
If many groups are created by you
If you add many people to a particular group and they all leave as if they were added without permission

Then What?

This time its different, this ban is meant only for third party app users.
Many errors have crept in this ban method that, even users who currently use genuine whatsApp got banned.
Reason is the existing Whatsapp+ files inside the whatsApp folder

Workarounds Tried so far

These are the methods i tried to get it up and running...But i couldnt bypass the contact sync, as before that the countdown popup comes up.

Uninstalling WhatsApp plus and clearing directory before installing genuine app from play store
Advancing time as we all use to do in candy crush and other games
Advancing system dates
Swapping systems (interchanged phones)

All the above don't work..so don't try it and waste time.. Wait for the countdown timer to stop count for you to use WhatsApp.

What To Do?

Kindly uninstall the third party app, delete all existing files from the memory of your device and install the WhatsApp from playstore
If you didn't do the above,the timer can add an extra +24 hours and the repeated occurrences can result in a permanent ban
I temporarily asked my contacts to ping me in Hike, if they need me urgently.
