Have you ever received a certain message from WhatsApp that appeared suddenly while using the application? Maybe one of them is what we discuss below.
Directly from the official WhatsApp Blog, here are some messages that can appear when you are using WhatsApp and what they mean.
1. "Waiting for this message. This may take a while."
At times, you may see the message above in place of the message you sent. Due to end-to-end encryption, you may need to wait for someone's message to arrive as their cell phone has to be online too.
This can also happen if you or the person you are chatting with recently reinstalled WhatsApp or is using an older version.
To speed up this process, WhatsApp recommends:
Ask the person you are messaging to open WhatsApp on their phone
Make sure both of you are using the latest version of WhatsApp.
2. "Your phone number is banned from using WhatsApp. Contact support for help."
"Please be aware that we ban an account if we believe the account activity violates our Terms of Service. Please review the "Acceptable Use of Our Services" section of our Terms of Service carefully to learn more about appropriate use of WhatsApp Business and activity that violates our Terms of Service us," WhatsApp wrote on its blog.
If you think your account was blocked by mistake, please email WhatsApp and WhatsApp will investigate your case.
3. "Waiting for this message. Check your phone."
Sometimes, you may see the above message on your device. The solution, check your phone to see the message, ask the person you're messaging to open WhatsApp on their phone, and make sure you're both on the latest version of WhatsApp.
4. "This group has ended"
WhatsApp uses machine learning technology to evaluate group information including name, profile photo and group description. Apart from that, WhatsApp provides a simple option for users to generate reports to WhatsApp company from any chat. If found elements that violate such as terrorism, then WA has the right to delete the group.
"If WhatsApp has taken action to end the group, participants will no longer be able to send messages to the group. In addition, we may prohibit the administrator of the group from using WhatsApp altogether," WhatsApp said.
