WhatsApp Blocks Accounts Showing 'Under Analysis' Notice

Overview

• Users reported Monday that their WhatsApp accounts were suddenly blocked and showed an in-app message saying the profile was “under analysis” with a promised result within 24 hours.
• Accounts under the notice cannot send messages, which disrupted normal use for people who say they did nothing to violate platform rules.
• Reports came in from Brazil and other countries in multiple languages, and DownDetector recorded a visible spike in complaints tied to mobile-app and messaging problems.
• Meta told some outlets that it bans accounts to protect other users and that it can make mistakes, adding it works to restore access quickly, though the company has not provided full details on scope or cause.
• Affected people say the blocks appear to be unexpected and wrongful, and the next key facts to watch are Meta’s disclosure of how many accounts were hit and whether the reviews are automated or manual.
