Notices it recognises
- Account suspended
The account is hidden and you cannot use it, but it still exists. There is a window to appeal before the decision becomes permanent.
- Account disabled
The platform has reviewed the account and kept its decision. Often no appeal button remains, but other official routes may still be open.
- Permanent ban
The platform says the account broke its rules repeatedly or seriously and has removed it.
- Number banned from the app
This phone number may no longer use the app. WhatsApp shows this to banned accounts.
- Channel terminated
The channel and its videos have been removed, and you may not create new channels.
- Account restricted
The account still works, but some features (posting, messages, ads or reach) are limited, often for a set time.
- Identity check
The platform wants to confirm that you own the account, with a video selfie, an ID or a code.
- Signs of a takeover
Someone else may have, or may be trying to get, access to the account.
- This looks like a scam
Real notices appear inside the app, in Account Status or in an email from the platform’s own domain. A message with a link and a 12–72 hour threat is a common phishing trick.
