How to handle a WhatsApp restriction
If WhatsApp shows something like “Your account is restricted right now”, WhatsApp has temporarily limited your number.
In most cases:
You can still reply in existing chats
You cannot start new chats for a while
The restriction is lifted automatically after some time
Why this can happen
This usually happens when WhatsApp detects sending behavior that looks automated, for example:
Messages sent too fast, with little or no delay
Too many new chats in a short time, especially to unsaved contacts
Messages that look very “copy paste”, with no personalization
A lot of the time this comes down to settings. The safest approach is to follow the best practice guidelines: Guidelines for using WhatsApp Blaster
What I can and cannot do
I’m the developer of WhatsApp Blaster, but I do not work at WhatsApp or Meta. I do not have access to their systems, so I cannot lift restrictions from my side.
What to do now
You have two options:
Wait and let WhatsApp lift it automatically
Contact WhatsApp directly from the app Settings, Help, Contact Us
If you try again, go slow
Since the account was flagged already, start carefully.
A safe starting point:
Max 100 messages per day
Delay 20 to 30 seconds between messages
Add an addtional random delay, e.g. 5-10 seconds
Prefer sending to saved contacts
Personalize messages using placeholders, so it looks like a message typed by a human
Alternative option: Official WhatsApp API
Some users ask about the official WhatsApp Business API. It can be more stable for higher volume, but it has stricter rules and less flexibility.

Key limitations you should know
Approval required You need a WhatsApp Business account and provider approval.
24-hour messaging window After a person messages you, you usually have a 24-hour window to reply with normal messages. After that, you typically must use message templates.
Message templates Outbound messages that start a conversation, or messages outside the 24-hour window, usually require pre-approved templates.
Costs Pricing is per message and depends on country and message type.
Conclusion
WhatsApp Blaster can still work fine, even after a restriction, but you need to slow things down and send in a way that looks human. If you stay patient and conservative for a few days, the risk of another restriction drops a lot. If you try to speed things up again, WhatsApp will usually flag the account again.
