    @WhatsApp please help, my WhatsApp account has been hacked and all your written solutions have not worked. Please I need to chat with your rep since no one can reach you guys

  • MajlessiAlireza Alireza Majlessi (@MajlessiAlireza) reported

    @belle6523 @WhatsApp I emailed WhatsApp support and asked them to deactivate the account! It took a couple of hours but they eventually emailed me saying the account’s been deactivated (which stopped the hacker from texting everyone), and then when the timer ran down I managed to register again!

    @mashtips @WhatsApp @signalapp the first screenshot says "Link a Device" instead of WhatsApp web. It definitely is the standalone multiple login for other devices like iPad or so
