In February, WhatsApp closed more than 76 million accounts in India to prevent fake news and wrongdoing. If you send spam messages, spread misinformation, or engage in fraud on WhatsApp, your account may be banned. Sharing pornographic content, violence, or content inciting hatred can also lead to action being taken against you and your account being banned.
