Some users say their accounts are being reviewed for as long as 24 hours. This prevents access to key features of the program. Meta-backed WhatsApp has suspended several accounts.

Account in review, according to the messaging app’s notification. Request date: August 3, 2026. We are checking your account activity and device information to ensure it adheres to our Terms of Service. Usually within 24 hours, we’ll inform you of the outcome.

There is also a Learn about account issues option in the notification that offers guidance on using Whats App responsibly, information on compromised accounts, and information on stolen phones.

Many users stated they couldn’t use WhatsApp without any notice from the company, and they reported the disturbance on Monday evening.

Many users are reporting the problem on the social platform X.

Whats App suspended my account without any justification. The review team usually reviews appeals within 24 hours. On social media, a user pleaded, “Help me immediately. ”

Saloni, another user, wrote on X: Without warning, my Whats App account was instantly deactivated. Because my career relies on Whats App, I only use the official app. I need your assistance. This was really unnecessary.

After the uproar over Whats App’s suggested username feature, reports from the beginning of July indicated that the government was thinking about implementing consistent standards for messaging services used in India.

According to reports, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is looking into a single regulatory framework that would apply to all messaging services rather than using platform-specific solutions.

After the government objected to WhatsApp’s planned username tool, which would let users converse without disclosing their phone numbers, the debate will continue.
