What does "This group is no longer available" mean?

This notification appears when WhatsApp has suspended or blocked the group. More details: https://faq.whatsapp.com/679236580386110/

Why a group may become unavailable

  • Violation of WhatsApp Terms of Service

  • User reports

  • Suspicion of spam or mass messaging

Can the block be appealed?

Yes, group administrators can request a review of the suspended group by opening the group in the WhatsApp app and submitting a review request.

How to reduce the risk of repeated blocking

If your groups have been blocked before:

  • Do not recreate new groups exactly like the old ones — identical photos, names, descriptions, and messaging patterns increase the risk of repeated blocking.

  • Follow the recommendations in How to not get Banned?
