Why is my WhatsApp Business getting banned?

Bulk messages to people who did not save or consent, unofficial tools automating the app, too many blocks and reports in a short time, or a number Meta judges to be sending spam — the app bans on behaviour, not on volume alone.

The short answer

Bulk messages to people who did not save or consent, unofficial tools automating the app, too many blocks and reports in a short time, or a number Meta judges to be sending spam — the app bans on behaviour, not on volume alone.

Four causes cover nearly every ban on the app: broadcasting to people who have not saved your number or agreed to hear from you; unofficial tools or modified apps that automate sending; a burst of blocks and reports after a campaign; and content Meta's systems read as spam — the same message to many numbers in minutes. The app bans on behaviour, not on a published count.

If the business needs to send at volume, the answer is the WhatsApp Business API, where sending to opted-in people with approved templates is the designed use, the limits are published, and a quality rating tells you before a restriction does.

Broadcast without getting blocked is the practice for both.
