Channel status "Banned"

The Whapi channel status BANNED means WhatsApp itself has blocked the connected number β€” this is a block on WhatsApp's side, not a restriction from the Whapi API. The exact reason is usually unknown, as WhatsApp doesn't disclose it.

What to do:

Log out from the channel and change the proxy IP address β€” this reduces the risk of the new or restored number getting banned again from reusing the same already-compromised IP.

  • If you're not a partner β€” please send Please send the channel ID to the support chat or to care@whapi.cloud so we can change the proxy.

  • Partners can do this themselves in the partner admin panel.

You can try requesting an unblock β€” instructions here: Unlocking Your WhatsApp Number. The outcome isn't guaranteed, as the decision is made by WhatsApp.
