WhatsApp Account Banned? Prepare a Review Request

Start with the ban notice in WhatsApp. If “Request a review” is available, draft a message here explaining what happened, then submit it yourself through the official process. The tool helps with English or Arabic wording; WhatsApp makes the review decision.

Draft an appeal in English or Arabic

Choose the account type and situation shown in your app, add the facts, then review the message before copying.

1. Identify your account status

Your next step: request a review in the app

Open WhatsApp with the banned number and tap “Request a review” if offered. Add the relevant explanation and follow the on-screen instructions. After submitting, check the result in the app.

2. Personalise your request

Include only facts you can confirm (optional)

The draft is created in your browser. The tool does not send form details to our server or submit the request to WhatsApp.

Short English appeal

Hello WhatsApp team, please review the ban on my account, [international number]. I noticed it on [date] with this notice: [notice]. Relevant details: [brief factual description]. Thank you.

Need an Arabic appeal?

Select Arabic in the generator to draft the request in that language. Review the facts before submitting it through the official account process.

Check which notice you received

A temporary ban or feature restriction may have a timer and instructions different from an account-ban review. Select the situation that matches your screen and follow WhatsApp’s instructions. A generated letter cannot shorten a countdown or create an unavailable review option.

WhatsApp Business and the Business Platform

Identify whether you use the WhatsApp Business app or Business Platform/API; the review route depends on the product and action. Include the business name, usage context and an existing case reference if available, without customer chats or verification codes.

Use the official submission route

This independent tool does not submit an appeal for you. Check WhatsApp’s help center and the route shown for your account. Save a copy of your draft if you will need it again.

Review-request questions

Does an appeal message guarantee an unban?

A message explains your case; WhatsApp decides the outcome. No wording guarantees approval or a fixed response time.

Does the tool submit the request automatically?

You review, copy and submit the message through the official process. The tool drafts it in your browser and does not contact WhatsApp for you.

Which details help explain the case?

Include the account number with country code, the notice, when you saw it and a brief factual description. Name and email are optional; leave out PINs, SMS codes and passwords.

Can I edit and download the draft?

Edit the draft, choose its language and format, then copy it or download TXT. After changing form details, update the message before copying to include the new information.
