How to Unban a Banned WhatsApp Number

In this article, we explained how to unban a banned WhatsApp number on both WhatsApp Messenger and WhatsApp Business.

The WhatsApp ban is becoming so common in recent times, that whenever this happens it can be so demoralizing, especially for those who use WhatsApp for business purposes.

WhatsApp has grown to become one of the most used mobile applications in the world.

As of today, WhatsApp Messenger has over 5 billion downloads in the Google Play store alone.

While the WhatsApp business version has gotten over 500 million downloads to the same Google Playstore.

Now, these downloads don’t include iPhone users, and as well those who downloaded WhatsApp via other app stores, and APK files.

If all the figures are put together, the total number of WhatsApp users will be something you will definitely raise your thumb for.

Since the introduction of WhatsApp, it has become a part of life for many, and they can hardly do without it.

Sometimes ago, WhatsApp was down for some hours, no WhatsApp was able to send or receive WhatsApp messages. This actually was a big agony for many WhatsApp users, as they count their losses, and some users went as far as threatening legal actions against WhatsApp.

That is “by the way” I was only trying to show you how important WhatsApp has become to the world.

With WhatsApp users can keep easy conversations with family and friends, perform business activities, create groups, share pictures, and so on.

In addition, WhatsApp also allows users to make both voice and video calls without challenges, all that is required is just having internet data and a strong network.

What then happens when your number gets banned on WhatsApp, this means all your conversations can’t be recovered.

If you have backed up all your WhatsApp conversations, and your number gets banned on WhatsApp, it is not recoverable.

For you to restore your WhatsApp conversations you need the same number that was banned from doing WhatsApp, and that is the biggest challenge.

When my WhatsApp got banned it was a big shock to me, and I saw my business crashing in my face.

I had so many receipts and documents I needed to attend to as soon as possible, but I couldn’t get access to them, and I had to look for the fastest way to recover and unban my WhatsApp number.

Here I will show you how I got my WhatsApp account unbanned in less than 2hours.
