Some here my Andorid ver is 14 but when i install whatsapp on my other device Android ver 11 i login without any problem.
[General Questions and Answers] Senliast:
Yes i noticed it as well. May be it bans all the devices, from logging into the account, where the account has been once logged in? Like via IMEI or something?
[General Questions and Answers] cheetah81:
Any Solution

Hi,

I am facing similar issue since many days, my go to solution (might not feasible to everyone) was to login with other phone and delete WhatsApp account, wait 24 hours and then reactivate on main phone.

Hi Zeeshan,

I am encountering the same issue. Whenever I attempt to log in to the official WhatsApp, I receive an error message stating, 'You need the official WhatsApp to log in.' Interestingly, I can log in to the same account on 3 different devices without any errors. However, upon attempting to log in again on my initial device, I encounter the same error. Should I wait for 24 hours before attempting to log in on my first device, or should I follow your 'funky hacky' method?
[General Questions and Answers] zeeshanonlyme:
If you are able to login to the new device and whatsapp is working, keep using it in that device for a few days. It should hopefully normalize your account. In that time, do not initiate too many chats or send forwarded messages to ppl.

I am using magisk 23.x . as you are very well aware 24 onwards magiskhide hide is no more.

on ADB prompt

magiskhide add com.whatsapp

until I did this official app did not work.

I am missing my WhatsApp plus features is there any hack that you can continue to hide yourself from the official WhatsApp and use modded version 🤔. WhatsApp security is not about securing yourself it is all about securing themselves and controlling you - WhatsApp.plus so many features that could easily be incorporated in the official version and those have nothing to do a security. e.g. customization and separate tab for groups etc. but the modded versions is developed in a basement by a 16 yr old in Russia vs official one Facebook has more than 1000 employees working on it. so now ego is an issue they will not accept people with better talents and who can outwit them. cos those decisions are made by business school bench warmers

after migrating to official app

i back to the original /data/data/com.WhatsApp and restored it after official WhatsApp installation ( making sure I run the chown & chmods appropriately) after that it got stuck on initialisation for about 10 minutes and then all my group membership were canceled. rest of the messages were there has anyone else experience this problem what causes it and what is the work around

[General Questions and Answers] Evedammo:
So do you stay in the new sim card forever with your old account?
[General Questions and Answers] memocatcher:
No you can remove the sim card as soon as you're logged in
[General Questions and Answers] Evedammo:
Ok, so i'm gonna buy a new sim one and upgrade my android version. Hope this works, I used plus for years, now i'm on official but this annoying warning stills pops up
[General Questions and Answers] Evedammo:
Another question. I'm not banned... yet but still gonna do the mini guide you did. It will still work?
[General Questions and Answers] Evedammo:
Do you upgraded flashing the ROM or by OTA?
[General Questions and Answers] memocatcher:
I flashed the rom
[General Questions and Answers] Fischfuss:
Before installing the official WA, clear cache and delete Data of WA-Plus while uninstalling it
[General Questions and Answers] Evedammo:
I can confirm this is the only method that it works. Not clearing cache or deleting Whatsapp Plus data, only this one. No more problems for me

Well i was in crDroid and installed LineageOS. So i wiped the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] s--c:
Ah okay. Hopefully when newest android version comes out will work without losing data.

I tried to reflash same version of android (root) no luck. Did you reflash a different android/custom rom?
[General Questions and Answers] Senliast:
I think, the key factor why it worked was wiping data. I think, WhatsApp remembers Android installation ID or something like that, so you need to wipe your phone in order to get a new one, in order WhatsApp to let you login. Well it would be logical for me. Before wipe, i could login on another phone, where i never logged in before, but not on my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] s--c:
tried wiping phone, different rom, didnt work, only this that works is different device.

Flash room to leave the phone factory, I put a new WhatsApp account with a secondary number and it didn't let me add my main account as ''add account'', my final option is to have WhatsApp on another device while waiting to change devices and add the main account on the new device

Yeah seems the same fine me. Must be linked to device & phone number.

Got my problem solved. i sent email to whatsapp support and the fixed after second try.
[General Questions and Answers] sieger007:
How do you handle WhatsApp's 🐜🧠 with all this ban (n) , so this does not happen again

If your phone has > 4gb RAM

-- Download VMOS or something similar ( F1 Vm or Virtual Master ? )

-- Now download and install whatsapp in the VMOS instance . Your phone h/w has changed so new phone case should work on your phone

-- use only via VMOS instance

- everytime you change phone transfer your VMOS data ( image ) over

Poss Problems

-- Bluetooth / Wi-fi connectivity

-- ability to access Phone entire gallary via Virtual OS

-- audio routing to whatsapp

-- System share from original phone to whatsapp maynot be possible. You have to find that stuff on your Virtual OS and share ( ? ) dunno

I cant do it cuz ain't got all the RAM in the world. Somone can try and tell me how it works
[General Questions and Answers] sieger007:
BTW : I installed WA on a different phone and restored exact data folder ( /da*/da*/com.whatsapp) with chowns ✅ which had a new SIM it opened up right away . Restored my old phone and installed WA there - ran into this 2X . This sounds like a varying ban - based on Phone Serial # etc going all the way to a/c. if a/c is banned they'll inform.

Update : Transferred WA data to the phone ( Ph1 ( Original | working , Bootlooped data reset ) --> P2 ( temp phone WA transferred worked ok ) --> P1 ( reflashed again . WA download notice bouncer ) --> P2 ( temp phone WA transferred . Hangs . So updated version. Now latest version WA download notice bouncer ) ...... I am lost WFT is happening. I never used Mods. 1st time I came to know there are smarter ppl than WA was when they used the term official .... everything is d/l ed from the fr**g playstore...... I dont have time to forward messages either . What in the Jesus are these guys going
[General Questions and Answers] sieger007:
Update I got this :

"

Custom ROMs and rooted phones aren't supported by WhatsApp. There are too many variations in these customizations for us to maintain a working product. Furthermore, custom ROMs and rooting don't allow the WhatsApp security model to function as intended. If you're using a custom ROM or rooted phone, other apps might be able to read your messages despite the end-to end-encryption.

For the best WhatsApp experience, please use a stock ROM and remove root. Contact your phone's manufacturer for specific

instructions on how to unroot.

"

I have the original Samsung ROM with Custom Kernel that help me save battery. What business is that of whatsapp ?

Folks is there any way we can spoof your ROM and i have magisk hide . magisk app is hidden. If that were'nt true whatsapp would not run at all - it quits.

Also the earlier old version trick ( old version --> wrong SMS X3 --> lock out --> try again ) does not work on Android 10 cos the app checks the time /date with android.time.com server so back dating phone fails.

Any other ideas ... gosh .... I am stuck ! ! ! . How many go through ?

I have had this problem for a few months, I realized that you can't register some numbers on whatsapp mod or on rooted devices even with the official app.

I solved it with the official app patched with lucky patcher.

Im leaving this here in case is useful to somebody... I was facing this exact issue, unable to login my whatsapp account on a new phone getting that annoying error message. So what I did was bascially using my old phone which was rooted, login download whatsapp in there and was able to login, restored a chat backup from google drive and made a full backup using swift backup, on my new phone which I also rooted, I just restored the swift backup and that's it! Hoping this might help some fellas in here.
[General Questions and Answers] sieger007:
Happened exactly like that in my case when I went from P1 to P2 it was blind that its sitting on another phone & it started right up without verification or that Offical WhatsApp POS . . ( using data restoration ) but then going back to P1 triggered the migration module & that gets you into trouble. Next time you take whatsapp out of your current phone it might trigger . Yours --> cust rom ? b/l : lock / unlocked ? usually that is what causes issues . I hate WA , want to tell everyone to move to TG. Its an utter (n)s/w(n) Now they want to tell you what kinda phone you should keep ..sucks :{
[General Questions and Answers] Farrukhi:
Hello bro. I encountered the same situation with unfair blocking for no reason I'm getting the same error "You need to install official WhatsApp" while being on the official app.

But unfortunately your method didn't work for me. Because when I set the past date internet connection gets lost right away. Android version is 10. MIUI 12.

Can you try your method with my phone number?
[General Questions and Answers] Farrukhi:
What did you write and what they replied with?

Dear Mr Zuckerberg did i just stir the pot
with a whatsapp mod ?

In his Granny's basement could do you an outsmart.

I just didnt realize , With your mighty sway,
You silenced Trump, in a reckless bray.
If you can censor presidents so grand,
You surely can command my phone, & take it in your hand

I'll therefore eat your feed, & believe your lies,
..and I promise to be loyal sheep, beneath your watchful eyes.
So Facebook, please relent and heed,
Remove my ban with the speed, I need.

[General Questions and Answers] sieger007:
I know its v frustrating when they monkey every reply. If you want to use it unconditionally install WA on an unrooted and stock Phone and it will work right away-I have verified that. But that is not acceptable to me cos I dont want to uproot my entire phone set up I have since years because FB wants to control my phone in which case you can try KernelSU solution with relevant mods discussed on XDA . Long term ask your friends to get off FB, WA , Insta and look for alt like TG
[General Questions and Answers] Farrukhi:
Yes I entirely agree with you regarding TG

But what if my phone is still unrooted and stock one? I actually don't have a clue why it happened. I used the official version from an authorized Google Play Store and never spamming someone

And I really cannot understand that link you gave me. What should I do with those mods. Can you assist me for a reward? f yes you can connect me via TG @F_Knight
[General Questions and Answers] sieger007:
2 factors matter here

-- You should have used a modded WA sometime ago. Its been like more than a 1 1/2 yrs for me

-- One of these 3 or a combination lights a trigger

<> Unlocked b/l

<> Custom ROM : can see that in logs

<> Root : If WA detects it it just quits I doubt if Official WA bouncer is triggered by it

this is totally server controlled. Being rooted I could grab the logs but they dont confirm 100%.

is your b/l unlocked. if your on stock aka stock recovery as well then you can simply lock it and it should go away. If not then they are sniffing you based on your number ( not sure why ? ) . In that case login with another # , AFAIK it will map your existing messages against a new # and contacts will get a message that You changed #'s . Once logged in revert back to your old Number using WA changed # option
[General Questions and Answers] Farrukhi:
I couldn't use a modded WA because the simplest way to me was just to download it from Google Play Store? Before this problem I never knew there's modified versions from third party sources.

My bootloader is super locked I never dig deeper into phone settings to be honest.

How can I check my logs and is it possible to correct or fix something out there?

It turns out I'm on stock.

But another question is how can I lock it?

Exactly I also where this opinion they're sniffing me based on my number because I supposedly spamming someone.

I should note I use second Whatsapp (Dual) and Whatsapp business and other account go well in the same device

I also tried to write help center through their website but it ends up with error

I cannot change my number after logining with another number. Whatsapp says all my chats will be lost
[General Questions and Answers] rouenmod:
I got the error too after frequently moving from one rom to another, back then its not as complicated, I will only got 1 to 3 day ban (or waiting time) before I can verify number and logging in again and the time ticker until i can verify my number is there, but now I got this BS.

In my case I cant login either with my phone (with custom rom) or other phone (factory rom, locked bootloader). I can only login with other number. tried 2 whatsapp contact support email and both give me bot answer. and keep telling me to install official whatsapp. totally unrelated, missleading and annoying

update: installed latest lineage os and pass safetynet and play integrity check, issue still there. I can only login from Iphone. Regarding android device, it might failed cz my mom's phone is way years old, even tho bootloader is still locked.

has anyone tried bootloader-spoof to make app recognize ur device's bootloader as locked?

update: found a workaround

apparently my mom's phone is bootloader-unlocked, and the issue with this "partial-ban" is really about bootloader. either you relock bootloader by going stock, or spoof/fake it and you also need to pass safetynet/playintegrity check and good to go. @chiteroman has all the tool you need, just dig around his xda thread and his github. may compatible or not with your device setup, thank you!!!
[General Questions and Answers] saikyom:
I think whatsapp just blocked my number and my phone, and here is how I know it :

-I tried my sim card on a new phone (stock) and received the same message.

-I tried another simcard on my phone and I got the same message.

-When I put that other sim card on the new stock phone whatsapp works.

I thankfully got whatsapp on pc that still works fine, so I think I'm not banned just temporarely black listed, contacting support just sends me random automated messages, I hope someone finds a workaround soon.
[General Questions and Answers] otane:
Hey guys, i solved the WhatsApp issue here's what worked for me:

first I'm running a modified ROM, and my device is rooted, but the WhatsApp app is official,

Steps:

first I installed the play Integrity fix module from here flash it then reboot,

second enable Zygisk check the Google play service,

third reinstall the WhatsApp app enter your number and here's the trick by the time WhatsApp verifying your number and wants to send the "your using unofficial version of the app" message turn off you internet connection (wifi, mobile data), the app will start lagging a bit after a round 30 seconds or something enable your internet and you should be logged in for me it worked after the second try. I hope this will helpe you ; )
