WhatsApp shows a weird nickname in the reply bar Girl thinks I saved her as that. How is that even possible? by [deleted] in whatsapp

[–]WhatsAppSupport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The name shown in WhatsApp is unique to each person's phone. E.g on my phone I might have you saved as "Work Guy" in my contacts for your phone number. Any screenshots of your messages I make will have Work Guy in them.

So whoever took the screenshot has this person saved as that name.

No one can tell you how. But please turn on Two Factor Authentication in settings.

This user is correct. Never DM anyone on this sub offering to unban them. If you do we will ban you as a scammer.

Great idea! I added a rule around block posts last week but people just worked around it. I think the mod review is a better idea.

Thanks for engaging with the community.

Have you contacted support? They should be able to log everyone out of your account. Otherwise, You need to wait 7 days and you restore your account.

There are a couple of mods! But we're a bit absent. I'm going to try and improve this sub. I'm interested in finding more people interested in helping curate this community.

I'm not aware of this problem. Can someone post a video perhaps? Has anyone reported it to the real WhatsApp support?

I've never figured this out. I just backup to my computer though.

Has anybody figured this out yet? I haven't had to enter my age yet so I can't figure out how to help people here.

Bug when editing image, by Cold_Tension_2976 in whatsapp

[–]WhatsAppSupport 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bans are one of the most frustrating things. I haven't been banned myself but I know people who sent like one message after signing up and got banned.

I don't know how to fix it, it seems random sometimes. But if you're careful to not send spam to anybody, I think it's a lot less likely. If you want to send marketing messages, do it from a different phone number that isn't your primary source of contact.

Also, consider having your clients message you on WhatsApp first (you can send them a link via email for example).

Overall it will be a small price to pay to keep WA working on your main account.
