WhatsApp has become a part of everyday life and an indispensable tool for billions of users across the world. According to Statista, the Facebook-owned free messaging app has over 1.5 billion monthly active users on its platform. The app is used for business as well as personal purposes. However, getting banned from WhatsApp seems to be easier than one thought.
Users on Reddit, which is a popular American social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website, have stated that being a part of a group proved to be expensive for them when one of the members of the group changed the name of the group to “Child Pornography.”
“Hi! I was permanently banned from Whatsapp because one guy changed the university’s name group to “Childs Pornography” and now the entire group is banned. We tried to contact support but all we receive are automatic responses that say we violated the rules. Obviously we did nothing wrong. How can I unban the account? Thanks in advance!,” says a user on Reddit.
A similar post has been shared by another user on Reddit as well. “Well, one of my “friends change the WhatsApp name group to chld prn to suspend our accounts, it was a joke. The thing is I’m planning to change my number to avoid the ban. I already tried contacting support… My question is, can I restore my old save files from WhatsApp or I’m going to be banned again?”
This problem seems to impact only old users who have been part of a group for a long time, as WhatsApp is able to detect when a new user is added to a spammy group. Nevertheless, WABetaInfo says that one way to avoid this ban is by enabling the following settings: Group Info > Admin Settings > Edit Group Info > Select Only Admin.
Enabling the above-mentioned settings can ensure that only the person designated as the Admin will be able to make the changes, and mischievous elements in a group will not be able to do anything that can risk getting everybody banned.
We would like to ask our viewers, have you or anyone you know faced a similar circumstance while using WhatsApp? Do let us know in the comment slot below.
Same thing happened, My is also been blocked permeantly
Hi, how did you get blocked?
Banned because 1 person reported -_-
Hi a 2-3 Months Ago my Whatsapp is banned Cause i and 2 other freind Make Group just for fun. And one of Freind Send Porn Of child He got fom another Group then We just Changing Profile Picture Of Nudes And We Enjoying that Whatsapp Not banning this But After 3-4 Minute my account is automatically logged out and When i try to login it says Your account is permanently banned. And after one day my 2 Freind account is banned but the the weired thing is 3 Freind didn’t get banned the person who just send child pornography video. So i just send Email to whatsapp for being sorry and never do that again it is just for fun purpose. But they replied negetive then i send about 14-15 emails in 2-3 months and suddenly one day i think to log in and voila It is just Logged in i am so happy that i get it back i also tell to my 2nd Freind even his Number is unbanned and he didn’t even send any emails to WhatsApp.. so it is not permanent ban…it is temporary
Okay thanks For reading this wish You helped by this
Yes bro, My whatsapp number also cloaked as a same reason. What I have to don’t know, I am sorry about this issue. But this is not my fault.
Banned as well
Banned as well for obvious reason
My friend’s number also has been blocked permanently. He even don’t know why. No response from whatsapp support.
If the whatsapp can see a group name change….does that means they are viewing all of aur activities…..what about our privacy??
Hi, the mesSages are end-to-end encrypted. They cannot see that. But WhatsApp AI algorithm is able to caregorise harmful group names
My number is banned
I also am banned due to name
I received a similar message about being banned from WhatsApp. I tried sending emails to their support email address to revoke the ban since I do not believe i have done anything that violates any of their policies. All I recieved from them is an email stating “We have received large number of complaints about your number and have decided to keep it banned” they won’t disclose anymore details.
I am an average user with no wrong doings, I still do not believe someone reported me but cannot help ut.
i received similar emails.is your number permanently banned??
This WhatsApp messenger benned please open

One of my colleague in Marketing using a spare sim number, sent invitations of a trade show to 60 of his contacts.
Whatsapp blocked that number immediately though it was a Whatsapp Business profile.
He sent a request to un-ban. Ban was revoked after 3 or 4 days.

Hello Team,I don’t know why this number got banned my phone was in hands of my kid and i think he messed it with my whatsapp please unban it asap as there are very important chatsmy number is Thanks in advance
On June 17, 2020 @ 11:55pm when i opened my whatsapp, it suddenly said “Your number is banned from using Whatsapp”. The reason was obviously the same, changing of a Group name to “Child Pornography”. I emailed the support and they replied the following one after the other through their AI system:
1: We understand you’re currently unable to access WhatsApp and are working diligently to answer your request. We appreciate your patience and will get back to you as soon as possible. For more information, please read this article.”
2: “We have received large number of complaints about your number and have decided to keep it banned”
After a month on 19th or 20th July they removed my DP and other info of my number (as i kept checking it from my other account). Usually (as per online shared user experience) Whatsapp has been doing this Deleting stuff in 3 to 4 days after banning permanently, but this time they took a month and 3, 4 days.
Hopefully, i ‘ll be back on Whatsapp in a month or 2. Its a very hectic problem and caused me stress for full 10 to 20 days as that is my primary number and i have to explain everyone that why my number is banned from using WhatsApp.
Suggestion: WhatsApp has hanged its ToSs but didn’t inform its users about it. WhatsApp must send a notification for the users to read updated T&Cs.
