When you get banned, WhatsApp will send you a notification stating that you are 'temporarily banned from WhatsApp'.
Martin Bester never thought you could get banned from using the App.
HERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT COULD GET YOU BANNED:
- Sending too many messages to people whose number you do not have saved on your phone
- If a user is blocked by a lot of other users in a short period of time
- If you create too many groups that contain users that are not in your address book
- If you are using a fake version of WhatsApp
