Hi @kunalb11 Sir,
Firstly, wishing you a very Happy Diwali! Hope you're having a lovely festive celebration. 😊
I completely understand if you're unable to respond; I genuinely do. However, I wanted to exhaust every possible avenue before giving up, hence I have reached out to you on LinkedIn, Insta, ofc X.
Today I have also WhatsApp-ed you, please check if possible!
Given your association with WhatsApp, I was hoping you could help me get my WhatsApp account back. It banned on 6th evening when I was simply trying to access it through WhatsApp Web on my Mac. I've used this account strictly for personal communication with friends and family and haven't even knowingly violated any policies.🥹
I've reached out to WhatsApp support but have received only automated responses. The app now says I can no longer use WhatsApp, with no option to request another review or speak to a human representative. 🥲
Losing access to a decade-old account without a clear explanation or opportunity to appeal has been genuinely distressing, especially given how important it is to both my personal and professional life.
COULD YOU PLEASE FACILITATE AN INTERNAL MANUAL REVIEW?
And definitely, I am happy to help you out in any way I can! 😊
Thank you so much for your time and consideration. It genuinely means a lot.
@Meta@WhatsApp — My WhatsApp account has been banned despite my appeal being submitted, and I still haven’t received a meaningful response or access to a proper manual review. This has caused considerable emotional distress and personal and professional inconvenience. I am seeking immediate account restoration, accountability, and a fair resolution. @kunalb11
@kunalb11 Hi @kunalb11 Sir,
My WhatsApp account has been restricted for while literally just connecting to WhatsApp Web.
Despite multiple support requests, I’ve only received automated responses.
Could you please help arrange a manual review? I will be highly obliged!:)

Dear @WhatsApp@Meta
My account was banned while I was trying to connect WhatsApp Web on my Mac for regular use.
Despite submitting a review and contacting support, I have only received automated responses (I believe) with no clear explanation of the alleged violation.
I strongly request a manual review by a human representative and a clear explanation of the reason for this restriction.
If this issue remains unresolved, I will be compelled to escalate the matter through the appropriate legal and grievance redressal channels in India.
I look forward to a prompt and meaningful response.
Thanks!
A girl in Bengaluru created a webpage tracking startup jobs across the Bangalore city and the PSYCHOLOGY behind why something so simple works is fascinating.
So, as a Psychologist, let me tell you…
Because sometimes, the most powerful ideas don’t solve a new problem. They simply reduce the psychological friction around an existing one.
When job hunting, we jump between LinkedIn, company websites, WhatsApp groups and referrals, constantly wondering: “Am I missing something?”
1. That’s Cognitive Load - too much information overwhelms our brain. Putting everything in one place makes the process mentally easier.
2. Then there’s Uncertainty Aversion. Sometimes job hunting is stressful simply because we don’t know if we’re looking in the right places. A structured platform gives us something powerful: a sense of control.
3. And “refreshes every day”? That’s Novelty and Variable Reward. Maybe there’s something new today? The same reason we keep checking notifications.
4. Finally, Bengaluru + Startups + Jobs = Personal Relevance. When something feels specifically made for us, we pay attention.
She didn’t create a new solution .
She simply understood an existing human behaviour and made it psychologically easier.
And maybe that’s what great products do best. @aditi_tibarewal ♥️

Taking suggestions on what else to add, currently you can filter by stage, industry and area!
Will add job board to it soon!
