How to Overcome Blocked WhatsApp

TheIKNPost.com — The Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo) is fighting the spread of misinformation during the pandemic.

Director General of Informatics Applications, Kominfo, Semuel Pangerapan, said that Kominfo handles potential content hoax, always carry out fact testing, verification, incoming information to several parties.

If indeed the information, after being verified, is not true, the ministry will put a hoax “stamp” on the content.

Kominfo identified three types of infodemic circulating in Indonesia, the first is disinformation, namely information that is intentionally made wrong to destroy what is already circulating.

Second, malinformation is factual information, but is made for certain people with certain purposes and infodemic is misinformation, namely the information provided is incorrect, however, there is no element of intention.

WhatsApp has developed an engine that can identify a message spam.

“When you see a message containing spam or that you don’t want to see, we want you to report the message as spam and we will take action,” said Sravanthi Dev.

Sravanthi Dev continued that WhatsApp in recent years has also adjusted its product design to stem disinformation, namely by limiting the number of forwarding messages. (forwarded message) to only five contacts at a time.

This causes the number of forwarded messages to decrease by 25 percent. WhatsApp also updated Group Privacy settings so users can increase their privacy security.

Then WhatsApp introduced the ‘forwarded’ (single arrow) and ‘frequently forwarded’ labels.highly forwarded‘ (double arrow), to encourage users to think twice before forwarding the message again. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to him, more and more hoax messages are circulating.

There are many messenger applications that can be used, namely Skype, Facebook Messenger, Viber, Telegram and the like. But the fact remains that WhatsApp is the number one most downloaded messenger application because of its ease of operation.

Causes of WhatsApp Accounts being Blocked

The following causes are one of the triggers for a WhatsApp account to be temporarily or permanently blocked.

1. Spamming chats to other contacts by sending an unreasonable number of messages in a short period of time. For example, using “bomb text”.
2. WhatsApp accounts have often been reported or blocked by other contacts because they are considered annoying.
3. Create groups and add people you consider suspicious in bulk.
4. Login to WhatsApp repeatedly.
5. Login to WhatsApp on various different devices.
6. Carrying out provocative, inflammatory and other negative actions that make the atmosphere uncomfortable.

Easy Ways to Overcome Temporarily Blocked WhatsApp Accounts

For those who are temporarily blocked, no need to worry. Because for temporary blocking, there is only a time duration displayed on the WhatsApp application.

For each user affected by this blocking, the duration varies depending on the type of violation of the policies set by WhatsApp.

Easy Ways to Overcome Permanently Blocked WhatsApp Accounts

For those who are permanently blocked, don’t immediately panic, because there are still solutions that can be used.

Firstly, we can replace the old WhatsApp number with a new number.

This method seems a bit troublesome because if the account containing chat has been permanently blocked, it cannot be backed up first.

However, if you still want an account with the old number, one way you can do this is to contact the party WhatsApp via email.

What you have to do when contacting WhatsApp to ask for your account to be reactivated is to say “sorry” first.

After that, we can submit a request to reactivate the WhatsApp account that has been permanently blocked. Please contact via email support@whatsapp.com and wait for a response approximately 48-72 hours later.
