Meta works to restore WhatsApp accounts flagged as under review

In recent hours, a number of WhatsApp users posted on X and Threads that their accounts were abruptly disabled and displayed a message indicating a review of their activity and device information. The notice warned that a decision would be communicated within roughly 24 hours. Meta acknowledged the disruption and informed one outlet that engineers are working to reinstate the impacted accounts, though no details were given about the origin of the glitch or any geographic concentration.

With over three billion monthly active users, even a limited outage can affect thousands of people worldwide. A company spokesperson emphasized that the review process is intended to prevent abuse, and that errors are corrected as quickly as possible. No further explanation about the cause was provided.
