WhatsApp constantly checks that its users comply with the conditions of service. In case of identifying an account that does not adhere to its regulations, the messaging application can block said telephone number, either temporarily or permanently.
The messaging application is not the only one to implement this type of blocking policy as other platforms also do the same, such is the case of Instagram and Facebook.

one. Pirated applications
There are many unofficial applications on the Internet that promise features that WhatsApp itself does not offer. Two examples of this are WhatsApp Plus and GB WhatsApp. In these cases the most common is that once its use is detected, users receive a notification on their phone alerting them that they must obtain the official version or their account will be permanently blocked.
“If you received a message within the application notifying that your account is ‘temporarily suspended’, it means that you are probably using an unauthorized version of WhatsApp instead of the official application. WhatsApp”, reads the notification sent by the application
2. Collect personal information
Among the WhatsApp service conditions there is a section that states that any attempt to collect personal information from another person constitutes a serious infraction of the rules that can lead to the blocking of the account.
From the app they clarify that this includes trying to extract information both specific and large scale, using an automated or manual tool for non-permitted purposes
3. Improper use of the application
Those accounts that have been systematically blocked by other WhatsApp users may be subject to review , which could lead to its crash. The inappropriate use of the application also contemplates other scenarios such as having sent too many messages to accounts that do not have the number programmed, as well as creating groups with contacts that do not know the user.
4. Mass actions
The use of WhatsApp to share information or files in a massive or automated way can also be a cause for an account be blocked. It is estimated that monthly the application deletes about 2.5 million accounts for this reason.
