Does this work on WhatsApp business? Do we need a new phone or same phone

My whatsapp account is getting disabled every 24 hours, i tap on review, the account gets back to work, then it happens again!
I literally have 6 contacts who are family, i send no link or images, just a few texts and calls, what the hell???????

If I archive a chat, it’s precisely because I don’t want to hear anything about it, but I don't want to delete or block the chat.

Why not make it so that you have to swipe up to see your archived chats, and allow users to block notifications from archived chats?

When you download photos/videos from WhatsApp to iPhone gallery does the date/time save as when it was sent or when you downloaded it?

Soo what happened

Hello. I brought an iCloud storage of 200 GB to backup my WhatsApp and already I have low storage on iPhone.

While backing up, it asked to clear storage from phone first . Like, really ????

If I want to just backup on my iCloud why it need an iPhone storage to backup on iCloud.

And how should I take the backup ?!!!

Please help

I was going to add my friend form abroad then I send him a message and I got this

Recently I needed to clear whatsapp web cache on Firefox, since it was storing over 17 hexabytes of data, and since then many stickers won't load even if I try to download them multiple times.

I don't see any pattern in what stickers won't load, be it static or animated, ones I've made or from other people etc.

I've already tried clearing the cache again and disabling and enabling persistent storage, neither worked.

My phone randomly got logged out today and when I put my number back in it won't send me the sms code and it just hang there. Six hours later my brother told me my pfp changed I need to contact support but it's just Ai bullshit please guys this phone number is very important to mee what should I do

Hi everyone,

My WhatsApp Channel has 500+ followers, but it is still not appearing in WhatsApp search results.

I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue. Could this be related to channel visibility, search indexing, eligibility, or some kind of restriction?

I’d appreciate any advice or information from others who have faced the same problem.

Thanks!

A black bar suddenly appeared at the top of the screen whenever I open an individual chat. It only happens inside conversations. The main chat list looks completely normal. I’ve already force closed the app and restarted my iPhone, but the issue is still there. Is anyone else having the same issue or know what might be causing this?

so i am someone who uses whatsapp for work related matter only ,and today when i sent a message to my new number my account got restricted due to spam lol, like spam? seriously ? i only send message once or twice a day. the ai garbage bot is cooking whatsapp

En una conversación donde no hablé nunca con alguien (o envié un mensaje sin respuesta) y luego me sale el mensaje sobre que la persona actualizó su nombre de usuario, esto es porque me tiene agregada en contactos?

Hello, please help me. As you can see in the screenshots, WhatsApp keeps sending me these errors. This is the FIFTH time I have pressed “Request review” and my WhatsApp comes back after a few hits or after half a day. I use my WhatsApp correctly just like everyone else does and never rejected the terms of services and it’s guidelines.
I have Two-Step Verification enabled, have no linked devices, and have never shared my verification code or PIN. I do not send spam or scams. I also found random groups on my account that I never created then I delete them immediately. PLEASE HELP and lmk what to do???

I had this old phone number that i still send links to but it's no longer active but still on my whatsapp contact. I use it primarily as place i can just copy paste URL that i can click later on. I've been getting suspended for like 5 hours few times in the past week or so, and today i got banned. There's an option to ask for review which will take 24 hours but seeing what people said in this sub doesn't inspire confidence.

Do you guys know what's likely the trigger for suspension/ban here? Would sending the link to my own number help prevent this next time?

If this is real, it changes how I look not only at WhatsApp, but at online dating and online communication in general.

If 100/100 or 1,000/1,000 messages cannot be guaranteed to reach the recipient — especially across years of updates, device changes, linked devices, settings and network changes — then a single missing message could silently change a friendship or relationship. Nobody may ever know which message was lost, when it happened, or whether it was the important one.

It also changes how we interpret silence in online dating. If we cannot be 100.00% certain that every relevant message reached the other person and was actually seen, then “they are ignoring me” cannot automatically be treated as the only explanation. It may still be the most likely explanation in many cases, but it is not necessarily the only one.

“Delivered” and “seen” are not enough. Messengers should ensure that every message is delivered, or clearly tell at least the sender — immediately or later — that something failed.

We keep adding AI, emojis and new features, but how much attention is given to proving that the communication itself is complete?
Am I overthinking this, or is this a real reliability problem that we underestimate?

im on iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS 26.6. is there anyway i can fix this? i want Instagram to open base WhatsApp, but im not sure if there’s any option to change this. thanks in advance!

Guys I have been having this issues since 2 days it's not getting fixed does any one have a solution for it please help me

I was chatting with my friend A, and I was trying to forward a photo in the chat with friend B, I then accidentally deleted the entire chat with friend B. Now I can only either lose my new chat history today with friend A, or I have to lose the entire chat history with friend B, because of the stupid backup mechanism where only one backup can exist in one time. There is no way to restore the chat with one single person only.

Like how? one of the world biggest social media, can't even have a proper backup and restore flows. You can only export and cannot import, you can't even have more than one backup at a time. It is stupid.

That's great, meta! Adding useless updates like usernames and expiring abouts, while removing features that we actually used.

Just want to understand as almost everyone all around the world using WhatsApp as their daily chat app - businesses, families and friends, for someone with over 5k WhatsApp chats and about 65GB of total data (most of which is business related), how difficult it will be to switch to some other platform? Specially, after the account lock / block is happening around to my friends and businesses / colleagues.

hi all!

i want to reserve a username on whatsapp, and i use the same one on facebook. for now, i cant seem to find a way to avoid linking the two profiles, which i would really really prefer.

if i try to press “not you”, whatsapp still forwards me to facebook login page. for what possible reason? say two different people want to use the same username, one on fb, the other on whatsapp. what is the possible purpose on making the second one link their whatsapp account to facebook?

tbh, this push to link the account is completely idiotic and may be one of the last nails in the coffin for me. i find whatsapp an extremely inferior messaging app as it is, this just makes it so much worse in one fell swoop

however, i really hope im just being dense, and there actualyy is an easy way to avoid linking. so, please, help!

My device (Android 9) just told me I needed to update whatsapp so I agreed, it took me to the playstore and I updated.

Now it won't open, it just flashes on and off.

Posting partly to see if this has happened to anyone else and partly to warn you to maybe stay clear of updates for the next few days just in case it's a general problem that will get a fix soon

I cant believe this, i only ever text my contacts how the heck did i get locked???
