Some of my friends are also facing problem in whatsapp, they said that if not done like whatsapp API in respond.io or wati then it will be blocked, I have not tried them either
Meta is storming and blocking Verified BM at scale this week?

Yes, I’ve noticed more restrictions too. It seems Meta recently tightened their review and verification process, which might explain why some verified BMs are suddenly getting flagged.

Yes recently many advertisers use verified BM for WhatsApp API to increase ad account limit and crackdown has occurred

I also encountered a case where many of my BMs were disabled. Even though they were verified, the BM ad account was still restricted. It seems that Meta was running a campaign to scan new BMs or BMs that did not have a long history of activity.

That's a common situation. Do you have business verification documents? You should try using them to see if it works.

Hey, I've been seeing the same thing over the last week – even fully verified BMs linked to the WhatsApp API are getting flagged. From my experience the safest play is to double‑check that your business verification documents, payment method and domain all match exactly, and avoid reusing the same card or domain across multiple BMs. Also give any new ad account a chance to build some history with small spends before enabling the WhatsApp API or adding multiple ad accounts. Have you reached out to Business Support to see if there's an ongoing review wave, or considered focusing on other channels like email/SMS until Meta settles down?

I’ve noticed some changes recently as well . Sometimes these waves happen when they update their systems.

Are you talking about bm with Whatapp advertising account?
Currently meta is scanning for such bm because the manufacturer has created a lot of these types of BM by trick

Yeah, I’ve seen the same. Some verified BMs tied to WA API got blocked out of nowhere and ad accounts linked to them too. Looks like Meta changed the verification flow again, feels stricter than before. Curious if it’s just a wave or something permanent.

Meta has been tightening its algorithms lately, leading to many accounts being locked or advertising costs increasing. However, with the right solutions and resources, you can overcome these difficulties and maintain your advertising effectiveness.

One of my verified BMs for WhatsApp API got blocked out of nowhere, and a couple of ad accounts too. Not sure if I should switch accounts

Related to my original post, the thing is im running gambling ads, my Ads Account still run perfectly no bans or blocks
But I buy from different people Verified Bussiness Managers to put WhatsApp API numbers in a CRM that I use, that's a official Meta Partner.
So I use a lot of verified bm, now the providors with who I work, they all tell me the same, they don't have stock right now

Yes, it's happening across the board. Meta seems to be tightening security and verification rules recently especially on BMs linked to WhatsApp API and high-risk verticals.
A few things being reported:
Verified BMs getting disabled despite clean historyNew verification methods requiring additional documentationAd accounts getting flagged even with compliant adsIncreased checks on business website legitimacy and domain ownership
Best move for now is to avoid mass actions, monitor your assets daily, and keep backups ready.

Massive blocks today and yesterday also. I had several clients whom I had to pause their ads. It's getting really heavy with the WhatsApp API
