            I am experiencing a significant issue with my WhatsApp account. My account has been disabled without any clear explanation, and I have been unable to regain access. My phone number ********** , which is linked to this WhatsApp account, has also been restricted.I have adhered to WhatsApp's terms of service and am unaware of any actions that would justify these measures. Despite attempting to resolve this issue through WhatsApps support channels, I have not received a clear response or resolution. This has caused considerable disruption to my ability to communicate both personally and professional

            I am originally from *******. But now live in *******. I have been using this app for several years now. For some reason. They are now harassing me. When I use their app. They delete my account, and then strangely, re-instate it usually around 8 hours later. I have complained about this harassment to their useless support team, who only issue me a number, of my complaint. I have the right to use this app effectively. I have not used this app for illegal activity. And I have the right to free speech. I am being harassed by whassap, and this must stop. Deleting my account everyday, and re-instating it the same day is both bizarre. And harassment against me. It seems like a personal issue they have towards me, and they have no reason to do so

            My new position as an English professor requires that sign in daily using Whats App. I downloaded the application and all night I waited for a verification code. It has been more than twenty-four hours, and I continue to have problems. They wrote me back to say there was suspicious activity with my account, how could that be when this is the first time I am trying to verify my number? The accusations from this application has been disheartening. How do you disparage the name of potential customers? I would never use this application if it were not for my new position as a teacher I would never use this company.

            I've tried to get ahold of this company and I have no way to. I asked for my old information from my past account and there's no possible way to get a hold of them.

            Whatsapp suspended my phone number on December 18th, 2024 for 'violating' terms of services but have not explained to me what happened. My phone number is connected to all my social media and now I have no access to anything. They could at least explain to me if my account was hacked, or was phishing detected, or something. I emailed their support section and all I got was a generic "violation of terms of services" email, attached. Can they at least tell me what happened so I can try to fix the situation. Was my account hacked? ************

            So despite this company claiming to be able to help you with your problem it has no real phone number to call just a useless chat that tells you to look over these options an ask do any of these help so general they are of course the apply but when you look into the option it send you to more options and when you finally get to address your issues they don't bother responding in any way so as a disabled American this is so frustrating and hard to manage with all the other pressure I have so please help me with this company that seems not to care about customers
