Webwhatsapp-wrapper: What will get you banned?

[saitoreeper]

Hi Guys

So my one number got banned after I only send around 60 messages to it.

What could the possible reasons be.
I know a session that stays open for too long can let this happen.

Can replying to messages too fast make this happen as well?

Anyone got any other ideas?

Kind regards

Hi @saitoreeper could you possibly share some info about you getting blocked because I want to start using this API but cant afford to get blocked

1. Was this a new account that had not really been used before?
2. Did you send the same or similar message to 60 people?
3. Is it possible that one / many of them reported your message as spam which resulted in you getting blocked?

Yes, sending messages too fast will get you banned.
You need to remember whatsapp is auditing for human behavior, for example, it is impossible for a human to answer 5 messages per second.

You need to establish a human behavior patern!

Also, rmember NOT using this for SPAM, this kind of trash get this efforts eventually closed

Essentially to play around I made it so that if you sent in certain keywords yo and message was u get a response, after sending in a few times from different numbers it got banned obviously I pushed back the same message every time. My keyword was "Test" response was "It is working". The ban came through when I send in from multiple numbers at the same time my speed at which I responded was most likely too fast.

and very good to share our experiences, because our goal is to use lib for a long time ...

I am doing tests tbm, with automated answers ... for now I had no problems ...

Timing delay isue..

you need to set delay time in each message (pause time after every message send)

like 2 sec., 3 sec., or 5 sec.

it will working fine..

[gmlemus]

i would suggest better at least 10 secs since we are trying to behave like a human, depending how long is your response, we should try to answer as fast as a human should do

@gmlemus

I am going to try and randomising my response time from 3 - 10 seconds

i get blocked 5x times and last time today i use original web app and just second after qr scan i get kick.

today booth numbers get blocked right after qr code scan .. first i expecting to test this gecko solution ... and next just to use normal log into original app normal way ...

is it possible they block now me by device because all phone data is send to whatsapp on every login, and some bad pattern is recognized ... !?!?

use chrome and try

[gmlemus]

If you alredy abused the service in on server/machine and you got banned, it will more likely that whatsapp banned your hardware, i have been using the app without issues respecting times and usage , try using other hardware and equipment

[saitoreeper]

Looks like your IP address gets banned as well

[gmlemus]

yes indeed
