WhatsApp Business Warm-Up

Complete all days before using the number with real leads

⚠️ Do not use this number with real leads until all 14 days are complete. Sudden commercial activity can trigger a Meta quality flag or block.

✓ Warm-up complete — number is ready

Your account has now established a consistent history of natural activity.

From this day onwards, you can begin using WhatsApp Business with real leads. Continue following the same natural communication habits:

  • Personalize every first message.
  • Keep conversations genuine and two-way.
  • Vary message types by combining text, photos, voice notes and links.
  • Increase business activity gradually over the following days rather than all at once.

Tasks done

Meta occasionally reviews or restricts new accounts. It's part of the process and it passes. Stay calm, find your case below, and keep Uddy updated so we keep improving this.

Never do these — in any case
  • Don't log out of WhatsApp Business.
  • Don't sign in with another account on the same device.
  • Don't use a VPN, and don't change SIM or device.
  • Don't message strangers, and don't send links or attachments during a review.
  • Don't bulk-message or try to "make up" for lost time by speeding up.
01 Which situation am I in?

Identify your case by what your screen actually shows — then follow that path.

You got a review or block
Device review · ~7 days
Screen says you're under review and can't link new devices. You can still send.
→ Keep the warm-up going at the same pace.
Messaging restriction · ~1 day
"You can't send new messages right now." You can still receive.
→ Start the receive-only recovery protocol.
Usage block · ~1 day
Account temporarily blocked from use. You can't do anything.
→ Wait for it to lift, then start recovery.

02 What to do, by case

Device review ~7 days

Keep the warm-up process going — but at your current pace. Don't accelerate to compensate for the review; that's what re-triggers it. Just continue as normal and let the 7 days run out.

Messaging restriction ~1 day

You can still receive messages, so start the receive-only recovery protocol below right away.

Usage block ~1 day

Wait for the block to lift first — during it you likely can't do anything. Once you regain access, start the receive-only recovery protocol below.

03 Receive-only recovery protocol

For the messaging restriction and usage block cases. The idea: rebuild organic, incoming activity slowly before you start sending again.

Days 1–3
Receive, don't reply. Each day, arrange for 5 different colleagues to message you — about 10 messages total per day (not 10 each). Rotate the colleagues day to day if you can. Open each chat and read it, but do not reply to anything yet.
Day 4
Reply once, naturally. Reply to one of those conversations the way you normally would. Then wait and watch: did Meta restrict you again?
Days 4–10
If not blocked, repeat daily. If nothing happened, keep this up once a day for up to a week — a little more natural back-and-forth each day.
After 1 week
Restart the warm-up from Day 1. If Meta hasn't restricted you again after a full week, begin the normal warm-up process again from the beginning.

This protocol is our current best recommendation and is still being tuned — if it doesn't work first time, it doesn't mean you did it wrong. Tell Uddy what happened so we can adjust it.

04 Keep Uddy updated
Message Uddy throughout — tell him the moment a review starts, and give short daily updates on what you're seeing. Every report helps us fine-tune this process for you and for the agents who come after you.
05 Be patient

Clearing a Meta review can take a while, and sometimes more than one round. Sticking to the steps calmly is what gets you out for good — rushing is what keeps you in.
