How to keep your WhatsApp number safe from bans

What CallMePing already does for you

• Ping only replies to people who message you first. It never starts conversations on its own.
• Ping never replies automatically in groups.
• When a customer sends several messages quickly, Ping waits until they finish and sends one reply, not one per message.
• Incoming messages are not marked as read for you. They stay unread on your phone until you open them.
• Your number keeps the same connection when you reconnect, so WhatsApp does not see a login from somewhere new each time.
• Messages sent through the Developer API are limited per number, however many API keys you use.

Add a human pace to replies

Ping then waits a random time within that range and shows "typing..." before it sends, like a person would. The default is 0, which means instant.

1. Open Settings from the sidebar.
2. Under Reply delay (seconds), set a small range, for example 3 to 10.

Good habits

• Use a number that is already well established, ideally a dedicated business number with normal chat history. A brand new number is best used normally on your phone for a while before you connect it.
• Do not send bulk messages to people who did not ask to hear from you, whether through the API, scheduled posts or by hand.
• Post in groups at a sensible pace and only content the group expects.
• If someone asks you to stop messaging them, stop.
• Keep your knowledge up to date so Ping gives useful answers. Unhelpful replies get reported more often.
• Keep WhatsApp on your phone active and avoid linking and unlinking the number over and over.
