There are 5 tips to prevent your account from getting banned on WhatsApp:

1. Think again before forwarding messages

WhatsApp has established a label for all forwarded messages and placed a restriction on the number of times you can transmit messages, to encourage users to think twice before sharing. Don't forward a communication if you are unsure of its veracity or don't know who sent it.

2. Avoid automated and bulk messages

User feedback and machine learning technologies are combined by WhatsApp to identify and block accounts that send unsolicited automated messages. So be careful not to use WhatsApp for bulk messaging, auto-messaging, or auto-dialling.

3. Communicate with known contacts

Only send messages to those who have contacted you first or have requested you to contact them on WhatsApp.

4. Respect boundaries

Ask for permission before adding someone to a WhatsApp group and in case they remove themselves from the group then respect their boundaries and do not add them back until and unless they say so.

5. Don’t violate Terms of Services of WhatsApp

WhatsApp Terms of Service prohibit any sort of behaviours that can fall into the categories of illegal, defamatory, intimidating, harassing, or publishing falsehoods.
