Secure your Account from Temporary and Permanent Ban 2025

If your GBWhatsApp account has been banned, it’s essential to understand that WhatsApp does not officially support third-party mods like GBWhatsApp, and bans are often permanent if detected. However, if you want to try to recover your account, here’s a step-by-step guide to attempt to get unbanned:
Types of Ban

Temporary Ban: Usually lasts 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. You’ll see a message like “Your account is temporarily banned.”
Permanent Ban: You’ll see a message like “Your phone number is banned from using WhatsApp.” Permanent bans are more challenging to reverse.
Step 1: Uninstall GBWhatsApp Pro
GBWhatsApp is not an official app, and using it violates WhatsApp’s terms of service. To increase your chances of recovery:
- Uninstall GBWhatsApp from your device.
- Clear any leftover files or data related to GBWhatsApp.
Step 2: Update GBWhatsApp Pro
Here’s how you can download and Update GBWhatsApp Pro from GBWaves.
Visit the GBWaves Website
- Open your browser and go to https://gbwaves.net/.
- Navigate to the GBWhatsApp Pro section or search for the latest version of the app.
Download the APK
- Find the download link for the latest version of GBWhatsApp Pro.
- Tap the download button and wait for the APK file to download.
Enable Unknown Sources
- Go to your device’s Settings > Security.
- Enable Install from Unknown Sources (or Allow installation of apps from unknown sources).
- This allows you to install apps outside of the Google Play Store.
Install GBWhatsApp Pro
- Locate the downloaded APK file in your device’s file manager.
- Tap on the file to begin the installation.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Verify Your Number
- Open GBWhatsApp Pro after installation.
- Enter your phone number and verify it using the OTP (one-time password) sent to your device.
- You may need to use a different phone number if your number is banned.
Step 3: Install Official WhatsApp
- Download and install the official WhatsApp from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Use the same phone number that was banned to register.
Step 4: Appeal the Ban
If your account is banned, you can try to appeal the decision:

- Open the official WhatsApp app.
- Tap “Support” or “Contact Us” when you see the ban message.
- Write a polite and honest message to WhatsApp support. For example:
- “Hello, my WhatsApp account was banned, and I believe it was a mistake. I kindly request that you review my account. Thank you.”
- Avoid mentioning GBWhatsApp or any third-party mods, as this may reduce your chances of recovery.
Step 5: Wait for a Response
- WhatsApp support may take a few days to respond.
- If your ban is temporary, wait for the ban period to expire (e.g., 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days).
Step 6: Use a New Number (If Permanent Ban)
- If your account is permanently banned and WhatsApp does not reverse the decision, you must create a new account with a different phone number.
- Make sure to use the official WhatsApp app to avoid future bans.
Step 7: Backup and Restore Chats
- If you still have access to GBWhatsApp, back up your chats locally or to Google Drive.
- After installing the official WhatsApp, restore your chats during the setup process.
Step 8: Use GBWhatsApp Alternatives
- WhatsApp Plus
- OG WhatsApp
- Yo WhatsApp
- MB WhatsApp
- FMWhatsApp
Important Notes:
- No Guarantee: There is no guaranteed way to unban an account that is banned for using GBWhatsApp, as it violates WhatsApp’s terms of service.
- Permanent Ban: If your account is permanently banned, you may be unable to recover it.
- Security Risks: Modded apps like GBWhatsApp can expose your data to security risks, so it’s best to stick to the official app.
