WHATSAPP fans may not realise that the popular app has quite a few rules – and breaking them could land you in hot water.

Even seemingly innocent mistakes risk your account being banned.

So check you’re not falling foul of these top three little known WhatsApp rules.

Fake WhatsApp apps

Not everyone is keen on the look and feel of WhatsApp so they go on the hunt for an unofficial clone.

The problem is, WhatsApp bosses don’t want you using these.

GBWhatsApp and WhatsApp Plus are two popular ones people tend to go for.

If WhatsApp experts detect that you’re using either of these or another clone, they’ll lock your account, so it’s best to stick with the official app.

Messaging people you don’t know

You might be in a WhatsApp Group or Community with people you don’t know.

While you can discuss common interests in them, messaging people you don’t know privately for a one-to-one chat may not go down well.

This risks you being reported – and if WhatsApp receives too many reports, they may decide to ban your number altogether.

Sending out automated or bulk messages

Even if it’s a funny meme, forwarding stuff on in bulk come across as spam.

WhatsApp has detection technology to spot this.

Anyone found to be bulk messaging or sending out loads of automated messages faces being blocked.
