WhatsApp update: Soon! iOS, Android users can appeal for ban revoke - Check details

WhatsApp update: In good news, the Meta-owned messaging application WhatsApp is likely working on a new feature that will allow users to put in an appeal in case their account has been blocked due to any reason. 

WhatsApp deletes or suspends accounts in bulk every day for users who do not comply with the terms and conditions of the platform. Now, according to a new report from WABetaInfo, a website that track WhatsApp, revealed that WhatsApp beta will soon get a new feature that will let Android, iOS users appeal to revoke the ban. 

The report also shared screenshots depicting the same. WhatsApp users will need to submit a few details before asking for the revoke. The messaging application will then re-examine your case by checking for any illegal activity or anything that doesn’t comply with the company’s terms and conditions.

If something concrete is found, the ban will not be revoked, however, if the account was banned mistakenly, it will remove the ban 
and you can start using the app again. The screenshots shared in the report are from WhatsApp beta for Android, but the feature is likely to roll out for iOS users as well, the report further added.

Please note that the messaging application uses both machine learning technology and reports from users to detect and ban accounts that send unwanted automated messages. WhatsApp also bans accounts if you send frequent broadcast messages and your account is reported by several users.

In related news, another report from WABetaInfo  revealed that WhatsApp is soon releasing a feature to track businesses’ ads within the section “advertise on Facebook”:

"WhatsApp is releasing a tool to let businesses track their ads! Thanks to this feature, businesses can manage their ads. This is a new feature that will be improved over time," the WABeta info, a website that tracks WhatsApp, wrote on Twitter.
