How to reactivating WhatsApp

Did you delete your account from WhatsApp, now you changed your mind and want to know if you have to follow a special procedure to reactivate it? You can no longer access to WhatsApp because your number is temporarily blocked? Do not panic. Let's try to deal with both situations.

All WhatsApp profiles closed or disabled at the request of the users can be reactivated without any problem, the important thing is that you are using the same phone number previously used to subscribe to the service (even on a smartphone different, it does not matter).

To delete the temporary shutdowns imposed by WhatsApp, instead, you have to have a little 'patience and make sure you do not violate the terms of use of the application. For more information, see the guide on how to reactivate WhatsApp I am about to propose.


Reactivate WhatsApp account after deleting / deactivation

Deleting an WhatsApp account will delete all messages, cancels the payment information but, fortunately, does not prohibit users to subscribe again to the service using the same number again.

This means that, if you want to reactivate WhatsApp, you have to do is download the latest version of the application on your smartphone, launch it and follow the steps of the standard configuration.

The configuration procedure standards - should know - is to enter the phone number, typing in the verification code that you receive via SMS and the choice of a name and a picture to represent your profile.

If you're using an iPhone with iCloud backup active, you will be asked if you want to restore the chat history: accepting, find yourself all your messages there where they had left, although not risulterai more writing your old groups.

On Android, which is not active synchronization of conversations via the Internet, you can manually restore the backup of the chat as shown in my tutorial on how to reinstall WhatsApp.

You asked the deactivation of WhatsApp following the theft or loss of your old smartphone? In this case you have 30 days to reactivate the profile without losing data, otherwise you will have to start from scratch (or almost) as just seen for accounts deleted.

Reactivate a locked WhatsApp account 

Cannot you access to WhatsApp because your account is blocked for 24, 48 or 72 hours? Evidently you have used the unofficial applications, such as WhatsApp Plus for Android, which are not officially supported by WhatsApp and involve the "ban" temporary whoever installs.

To resolve this issue, remove from your smartphone all apps that may have led to the lockout: third-party clients, packages of icons or emoticons for WhatsApp etc. and wait the countdown displayed in WhatsApp comes to an end.

In case the problem still persist and the countdown had to reset continuously try contacting WhatsApp support@whatsapp.com email address.

In place of the countdown see the message "Your number is not allowed to use our service"? Then almost certainly you have violated the terms of use of WhatsApp, for example by sending spam, commercial or annoying some users, and you have been "banned" permanently from service.

In cases like this, the only option you have is to contact support WhatsApp at support@whatsapp.com and hope that your reasons are accepted. Otherwise you will have to necessarily register with another number. More info here.

How to reactivate an account WhatsApp

Did you buy a new smartphone and want to know how to activate WhatsApp so do not miss your conversations and, above all, the payment of the subscription to the service? No problem.

WhatsApp identifies users by their phone number, so even if you change your smartphone does not have to worry if you have not changed even the SIM, installing the application on your new smartphone, the system will automatically recognize and restore all data on your license .

To restore the conversations, however, you must copy on your smartphone backup files from your old phone and confirm the restoration of the chat as shown in my tutorial about how to reinstall WhatsApp.

Do you want to transfer the license to WhatsApp between the numbers? You can do that too. Start the application on the phone with the old number, went to the menu Settings> Accounts and select Change number from the screen that opens.

Then presses the Next button located at the top right and enter the two numbers involved in the procedure. Pass data subscription will almost instantly.

Unlock locked WhatsApp account 

Has been blocked your WhatsApp account and do not you know how to access it? Quiet, not yet said its last word.

If when you open the application you see a countdown of 24, 48 or 72 hours, probably your account has been blocked temporarily following the use of unofficial client or other applications that violate the terms of use of WhatsApp (eg WhatsApp Plus). In that case, you have to do that to uninstall these apps from the phone and wait patiently for access to the service is restored.

If the home screen of WhatsApp find the message Your number is not allowed to use our service, the situation is more serious: your account has been "banned" indefinitely following the violation of the rules of the service and not c 'is a way to solve the problem.

Your only hope is to contact the staff of WhatsApp to the email support@whatsapp.com and hope that your reasons are heard. For more information on this, read my guide on how to reactivate WhatsApp.
