1. Contact WhatsApp
The first step to address an account affected by spam is to contact WhatsApp using the "Request Review" option when the spam notification box appears with the message "This account is not allowed to use WhatsApp because of spam" on the application screen.
2. Submit a Complaint Report
When selecting the "Request Review" option, you need to submit a complaint report stating why you believe your account should not be blocked, using clear and concise language.
Don't forget to include evidence such as screenshots or other information to support your complaint report and ensure it is accepted by WhatsApp.
