Flagging issue and WhatsApp ban

Hi I just need to ask how to remove the WhatsApp ban when it says

‘Thanks for your message.

We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this may have caused. Our system flagged your account activity as a violation of our Terms of Service and subsequently banned your number.

To ensure access, please reverify your number with our official WhatsApp client, which can be downloaded from our website: www.whatsapp.com/download

Please note that we do not provide support for unofficial clients or for jailbroken/rooted (including emulators), and unsupported devices.

it seems Whatsapp is not a problem

it’s apple account.

kindly help

thanks

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13

My last post wouldn't work

Have you jailbroken your iPhone? Are you tunneling with a VPN?

Try logging into your Apple ID and update your phone number there: https://appleid.apple.com/#!&page=signin

It might be, but I don't know that procedure. Before changing your phone number using a new SIM, I would contact whatsapp's support team, or join one of their forums, and ask there (to avoid any useless action on your iphone).

Regards and best of luck.

Because you're trying to use a BANNED (by whatsapp) phone number on your device.

No, all cell phones have an IMEI or MEID as well as other identifiers, this isn’t an Apple thing. This is you broke the rules and WhatsApp won’t let you back on.

Is there "something" your not "telling us?" Apple has nothing to do with "third party" apps. You go to WhatsApp for issues! Either you, or somebody else sent "innappriate text messages," with "your iphone," and person made "formal complaint!" You on your own!

I tried many times

all WhatsApp say is that it’s a permanent ban and they will keep my number banned because I violated their terms and conditions tho I just did some marketing but I understand if they are so strict

I think only Whatsapp support team can give you an appropriate answer.

I do not see any iPhone's account implication.

They are probably reading the IMEI number from your phone.

Hi

yes I followed all the instructions many times

and I have a new sim now

so there is no chance to block me when it’s not even an old sim

something is wrong with apple

I’m sure they will ban me again because something is connected with apple that is interconnected with WhatsApp like email address or ime number or something else but it is not normal that you buy a new sim and WhatsApp ban you

this is the first time happened to me so I need to know if there is a Solution

It seems to me that the message is clear enough: Our system is not referred to Apple

i didn’t do anything directly or indirectly with apple

I was just sending messages to many people for my business and some of them sometimes get annoyed but this is normal

many of my friends do marketing by WhatsApp and never got banned

it’s only me

Your friend's time will come. You directly violated their terms of use that you agreed to when you joined. They have every right to permanently ban you and you pretty much wasted everyone's time by coming here and asking for help. And you aren't the only person WhatsApp has every banned. I can pretty much guarantee that someone you sent something to took the time to complain to WhatsApp.
