Pick the closest honest answer. A true, specific reason works better than a polished one.
Where to send it
On the ban screen, tap Request a review and paste the short text if you're asked for details. Keep the long message for when WhatsApp support asks for more information. Send only one request.

Know your case first
Temporary ban, appealable ban, or final ban?
| Case | What you see | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary ban | A countdown timer showing when access returns. | On an unofficial app such as GB WhatsApp? Switch to official WhatsApp before the timer ends. Already on the official app? Wait — access returns on its own. No review request is needed. |
| Ban you can appeal | "This account can no longer use WhatsApp" with a Request a review button. | Send one clear WhatsApp review request. A decision usually arrives within 24 hours. |
| Final ban | The ban message with no Request a review button. | WhatsApp treats this as final. Save what you can and start again on a new number — this time within the rules. |
| Business Platform (API) | An account restriction notice in WhatsApp Manager or Business Support Home. | Request a review from Business Support Home in Meta Business Suite, or ask your WhatsApp provider. |
Recovery path
3 steps to recover a banned WhatsApp account
- 1
Identify the type of ban
Match what your screen shows against the table above. A temporary ban lifts on its own; a ban with a Request a review button needs one review request.
- 2
Fix the cause before you appeal
Remove unofficial apps such as GB WhatsApp, stop bulk sending, and secure the account with two-step verification.
- 3
Send one request and wait
Paste the short text into Request a review. WhatsApp sends its decision as an in-app notification.
Before you send
What helps your appeal — and what hurts it
Do
- State the real cause, honestly and clearly.
- Keep it calm and short.
- Write your number in international format with the country code.
- Say what you changed so it will not happen again.
- Turn on two-step verification once you are back in.
Don't
- Don't send many review requests — it does not speed things up.
- Don't use GB WhatsApp or WhatsApp Plus while you wait.
- Don't pay anyone promising an "instant unban" — only WhatsApp can lift a ban.
- Don't make up a story.
- Don't go back to bulk sending the moment access returns.

FAQ
WhatsApp unban questions
How do I write a WhatsApp unban request message?
Pick your account type, what your screen shows, and the closest cause, then tick what you changed. The tool writes a short text for the in-app Request a review option and a detailed appeal for support. Keep it honest, calm, and short.
Where do I send a WhatsApp review request?
In the app: open WhatsApp and tap Request a review on the ban screen. For WhatsApp Business Platform (API) accounts: use Business Support Home in Meta Business Suite.
Can a banned WhatsApp account be recovered?
Often, yes — if you see a Request a review option and the ban was a mistake or you fixed its cause. If the option is missing, WhatsApp treats the ban as final and it can't be appealed.
How long does a WhatsApp ban review take?
WhatsApp says most reviews finish within 24 hours, and you get the decision as an in-app notification.
Should I send more than one unban request?
No. Send one clear request and wait. Repeated requests do not change or speed up the decision.
Does a good message guarantee my account comes back?
No. The decision is WhatsApp's alone. A clear, honest message helps when the ban was a mistake or you have fixed the cause.
How do I avoid another ban after WhatsApp unbans me?
Ramp up sending slowly and only message people who opted in. If you message many customers, move to the official WhatsApp Business Platform, and check your habits with the ban risk checklist.
Does this tool store my number or data?
No. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere.
