Kishan (@jan_jan_ki_baat) reported@WhatsApp you could review the circumstances surrounding this issue. I have always tried to comply with whats app terms of service and have not engaged in any activities that would violate your guidelines. Therefore, I suspect that ban might have been triggered inadvertently.

WhatsApp Rubbish (@esim8888) reported@WhatsApp Your employees are just lazy. This is the worst company in the world. When I contact your customer service by email, they are like robots?
