WhatsApp users accounts under review: New Delhi: Messaging app WhatsApp has suddenly restricted the accounts of many users in several countries, including India, showing them as “Under Review” for 24 hours. During this, the affected users were deprived of using most of the features of the app. This problem came to light around 8 pm on Monday night and the users were not informed about it in advance.
A message appeared on the screen of the affected users that “Account Under Review” and that it is being checked whether the account complies with WhatsApp’s terms of service or not. The message also said that the result of the review would be given within 24 hours. It also showed information related to using WhatsApp responsibly and the stolen phone.
After this incident, many users expressed their displeasure on social media. Some users said that their accounts were blocked without any warning, while even after appealing, they were only getting a message with a 24-hour review. Many people said that their daily work depends on WhatsApp, due to which they had to face difficulties.
A WhatsApp spokesperson said that the company takes continuous action to prevent misuse of the platform and protect users. He admitted that sometimes accounts go under review even by mistake. In such cases, the company tries to complete the investigation quickly and restore the service to the affected users.
