Hi everyone,
I’m facing a serious issue with my WhatsApp Business account, which was Meta Verified (blue badge).
Two months ago, my former mobile operator reassigned my business phone number to someone else. This number was linked to my verified WhatsApp Business account.
Unfortunately, I can no longer retrieve access to that phone number, making it impossible to recover the original WhatsApp Business account.
The real problem now is that every time I try to create a new WhatsApp Business account (even with a different number), I get instantly banned. It seems that WhatsApp now automatically flags me for identity impersonation, even though I am the legitimate owner of the original account.
I’m completely stuck:
I can’t recover the original phone number.
I can’t start a new WhatsApp Business account without being banned.
If anyone has experienced something similar or knows how to reach Meta/WhatsApp support effectively to prove I’m the legitimate owner, I’d be extremely grateful for any help or advice.
Thanks in advance!
