You might have heard the news: WhatsApp is rolling out new limits and restrictions to prevent spammy behaviour.
If you use WhatsApp to message your leads, especially in bulk, this could affect you. Some of you might even have seen warnings like “Your account is restricted now” in the app.
Today, I’ll explain what’s happening, and how you can prevent your account from getting restricted, even while messaging hundreds or thousands of leads in one go.
Understanding WhatsApp Messaging Limits
WhatsApp has started limiting the number of messages you can send out within a short period, especially if many of them go unreplied.
That means:
- You can only send a certain number of messages to unresponsive contacts.
- WhatsApp will show you a warning if you’re nearing your limit.
- This policy applies to every message you send – whether you’re manually sending them one by one or using unauthorised third-party bulk senders.
👉 In short: If you’re striking up conversations with a lot of people on WhatsApp within a short time, and most don’t reply, you could soon hit limits and see reduced message delivery. Your account may even get restricted. So how can you avoid this?
