WhatsApp is cracking down on third-party app WhatsApp Plus, and punishing users who downloaded it but this is not a right way Whatsapp  this way you'll surely loose users .

On 21'st jan 2015 Whatsapp blocked all users who were using third-party app Whatsapp plus
and blocked people will not be able to use Whatsapp for 24 hours .

"The developers of WhatsApp Plus have no relationship to WhatsApp, and we do not support WhatsApp Plus," WhatsApp said on its FAQ page.


"We have received a cease-and-desist letter from WhatsApp and we are obligated to remove all download links," WhatsApp Plus creator Mounib Al Rifai wrote in a Google+ post.

"Am really sorry for this but it's out of our hands and WhatsApp has pushed us into a corner that we can't escape this time," he added.


But we tried to find out a way you can bypass this "Temporarily Blocked " Screen  , and we succeeded :) .


Normally people get 24 hour warning from Whatsapp but if you try to use Whatsapp plus again after that 24 hour warning period , you'll be getting a ban of 72 hours ( Each time +48 hours ) .. and in same manner it increases untill you use official Whatsapp on your account after that warning period.

What methods we tried : 

#1.  Changing the System date and time :

If you turn off the Data connection , Remove Whatsapp from "Recent apps menu" and change the date from lets say 24-01-2015 to 28-01-2015 and re-launch the Whatsapp application then you'll get to know that the timer has finished and you'll see the screen like below.

But the moment you turn on your data connection , you'll see the timer again and we don't wan't that.

#2 Increasing the timer speed:  

If you're a Rooted user and play/hack games then you might be knowing about GameCIH  , GameCIH is an app to change values in games , change speed of the game . so we tried to speedup the timer by the useful feature of GameCIH and tried to speedup the timer , but unfortunately it didn't worked :( .

#3 Changing the signature of Whatsapp plus APK:

Here we tried to copy signatures from original Whatsapp application to Whatsapp plus application and the APK worked but block from our account was not removed ( obviously you can't remove that block from an application , it's server based )  so we tried another account to test if Whatsapp blocks this new account , used from Whatsapp plus and guess what happened ? .... Ya it's blocked for 24 hours .
 .
#4 Create new account :

Creating a new account with new number is ok but you'll not be getting the chats back ( even if you restore using restore option ). But here we used a feature of Whatsapp to beat this " Temporarily  Blocked " thing. and the feature is "Change Number" and ya this time it worked.


Here are the steps to Un-block your number :

#Things you'll need : 

1. A blocked Whatsapp number .
2. A fresh non-Whatsapp number.
3. A fast 3G connection.
4. Speed of work ( Important )
5. A dual sim smartphone.

Step 1 :  Insert Blocked ( Sim1 ) and fresh ( Sim 2 ) in the Smartphone and make sure you have either 3G or WiFi connection with better speed.

Step 2 : Uninstall Whatsapp plus  , reinstall it ( better you keep APK of both original and Whatsapp plus with you ) , Register the Fresh ( Sim2 ) number for a Whatsapp account if you get a Restore Backup Screen the just click "Restore" ( No matter the backup restores or not , Don't worry if it says backup not restored or something like that ) . Wait till Initialization finishes and click "Continue" .



Step 3 : Go to Menu > Account > Change Number > Click Next .

Here comes the tricky part , You have to be very fast in doing all these steps.


Type the New number in "Old Phone Number" field and the Blocked Whatsapp number in "New Phone Number" field and click Done.

Once you click Done you'll be getting a screen with a loading logo and Connecting.. text .
Once the connecting screen disappears immediately turn off the data connection using notification panel.

Once you've done this , Now you're having a working account on your Blocked number but if you turn On the Data connection , you'll be facing the Timer again . So , Here are the things you can do to get your account working.

#1 :  Delete your Account and Re-create :  Deleting your blocked-number account will Remove your Database from their server and when you re-create on the same number you'll not be facing any Timer. But the worst thing is

# You'll be removed from all groups ,
# You'll be loosing all your conversations.
# You'll have to start just like a new Whatsapp user.

#2 : Change the number again : Now this is the best option to Transfer the Temporarily Blocked  status to another un-used account and get your account clean and Un-blocked.

Now what you have to do is Repeat the Step #3 and at last point swap those two numbers i.e Type the New number in "New Phone Number" field and the Blocked Whatsapp number in "Old Phone Number" field and click Done. and wait till it completes . Once it's done you'll have to Uninstall Whatsapp and Re-install it and create an account with the blocked number. ( Now you can restore chats also ).

# Benefit of this method is you'll not loose your chats .
# But all groups will not be having you . ( Blocked number is added to group and blocked numbers are hidden from all )
# You'll have to tell all group admins to add you once again.

The above is Permanent Fix to this Temporarily Blocked issue till now and might be forever , just because the Whatsapp plus creator  have no choice now .

Better to use Hike than Whatsapp .. If you want to use Whatsapp plus then just move to hike and Whatsapp will get to know that we'll not return untill they allow Whatsapp plus .
