Imagine the situation: you open WhatsApp or Telegram like every day, you are going to read some of your pending messages and, for no apparent reason, your account has been blocked . You have been banned and you no longer have access to those hundreds of messages: what happened?
If you have found yourself in a similar situation or if you simply cannot access the service because you have broken any of the rules - we are no longer talking about a possible crime - here are the causes and the address to try to challenge in order to return to normality in your account .
Banned from WhatsApp or Telegram? These are the reasons
If we look at the conditions of service and the legal information of WhatsApp, there is a section called ' Cancellation ' where some of these causes are explained. Telegram is just as clear in its terms and conditions .

These are the four main reasons why you can be banned from the platform, leaving you without access to the account and without service on your associated mobile phone:
- Use mods that modify the original code —such as GB WhatsApp— and can be used for personal or commercial purposes. Don't experiment with those unofficial apk . If you use 'WhatsApp Plus' or 'GB WhatsApp' you violate the conditions of use of the service.
- Being a conflictive account. Do not think that you are safe if hoaxes or scams are spread from your account: if your Telegram or WhatsApp account has been blocked by many users in the community, the monitoring bots will detect that something strange is happening with your account and they will put it in quarantine.
- Using a personal account for commercial purposes, sending the same message in bulk to many contacts or creating many groups in a short period of time, including people who are not part of our usual contact list in said groups. That is, use the service as SPAM pure and simple . As we have already notified , this measure is being severely restricted.
- Promote violence or harassment and other violations of the terms of service, such as having chats sharing explicit images or videos, of a pornographic nature or that violates the general conditions.
How to recover your WhatsApp or Telegram account

On the other hand, if your account has been manipulated and you think someone is using it without your permission, we recommend writing to the support services, Telegram and WhatsApp .

It is recommended to write to Telegram in English for a more agile response; These contact forms usually take between 24 and 48 hours to respond.

Regardless, we strongly recommend performing daily or short-period backups to keep your latest files and data properly up-to-date.
WhatsApp has increased its security
It should be noted that, in order to improve security in the service, WhatsApp has been improving encryption and shielding tools in recent times, including a new cross-device functionality perfect for browsers.
Its latest integration is called Code Verify and it is a tool developed in partnership with the popular US company Cloudflare. This extension installs and displays the encryption level of the active session according to a color system:

- Green for maximum encryption, validated end-to-end.
- Orange, where some element interferes and the verification has not been confirmed.
- Red, where there are real security risks and communication may be being tapped. It is strongly recommended to close all open sessions.
