Platform Term 7.e.i.3
Platform Term 7.e.i.3 - Disallowed use of apps We determined that you create or maintain apps intended to circumvent our enforcement actions. This can include apps that bypass any restrictions or enforcement we’ve placed on your other apps or developer account due to a violation of our terms and policies..
I don’t understand what specific action triggered this violation. What exactly did I do that led you to believe I was trying to circumvent your enforcement actions? I’m genuinely working to build my startup in good faith and have no intention of violating any of Meta’s terms. I would appreciate clarification so I can address the issue properly and avoid any future mistakes.


The same thing happened to me, I was inactive for a month when I came back the WhatsApp app wasn't working, now they say it's because of the term 7.e.i.3, I created an appeal and I'm waiting for a response.

Hi,
i am also facing this issue and would like to check if anyone have the any solution?

Hi Meta team and fellow developers,
We are facing a developer account suspension under Platform Term 7.e.i.3 ("Disallowed use of apps — apps intended to circumvent enforcement actions") and would appreciate any guidance from Meta or others who have resolved a similar case.
About us: We operate WhatsMarketing (https://whatsmarketing.in), a verified WhatsApp Business API SaaS provider and Meta partner. Our customers are legitimate businesses across regulated verticals — finance, real estate, education, e-commerce, jewelry, travel, and immigration — onboarded to the WhatsApp Business Platform through Meta's standard Embedded Signup, business verification, and display name approval processes.
What we are seeing: The Account Status page (developers.facebook.com/account_status/disputes/) shows "Developer account suspended" with the following reason:
Platform Term 7.e.i.3 — Disallowed use of apps "We determined that you create or maintain apps intended to circumvent our enforcement actions. This can include apps that bypass any restrictions or enforcement we've placed on your other apps or developer account due to a violation of our terms and policies."
Why we are raising this: By its own wording, 7.e.i.3 is a secondary violation — it presupposes a prior enforcement action on the developer's other apps or account. After a full audit, we cannot find any such prior enforcement:
We have also never created any app for the purpose of bypassing a Meta enforcement action. The apps on this developer account exist solely to support distinct, legitimate client integrations as part of standard Tech Provider work.
What we have done so far: 1. Submitted an appeal through the Account Status / Disputes page requesting a manual review and asking Meta to disclose the specific prior enforcement this decision is based on. 2. Contacted Meta Direct Support, who advised us to mark "No, I don't understand" and "No, I have not made changes" on the dispute form, since no specific policy violation has been identified. 3. Reviewed our entire app, WABA, and Business Portfolio surface for any sign of a prior issue — found none.
Request: If any Meta team member can review our case and share the specific prior enforcement (if any) that this 7.e.i.3 finding is based on, we will address it immediately. If no such prior enforcement exists, we respectfully request that the suspension be reviewed and lifted.
If any other developers or Tech Providers have faced and resolved an identical 7.e.i.3 suspension recently, we would be very grateful to hear what worked.
Thank you,

I lost access to open direct support.
Hello Meta Team,
I am requesting a manual review of the restriction applied to our Test App ID 1187092385665864, under Business ID 461093122720592, as I believe this was a false positive related to Platform Term 7.e.i.3.
This app was not created or maintained to circumvent any Meta enforcement action, restriction, monitoring, or policy. It is used only as an internal test/staging app for development, technical validation, and integration testing before changes are applied to our official Production App ID 1262704261066429, which is the app used by our customers.
Our business maintains only two apps: one test app and one production app. This separation is a standard software development practice and is not intended to bypass Meta policies.
This restriction occurred shortly after my personal Facebook account was temporarily blocked for security reasons. I immediately changed my password and added additional security factors, including a passkey. I believe this security event may have triggered an automated false positive.
Please review this case manually and remove the violation, as there was no attempt to evade, bypass, or circumvent Meta’s Platform Terms or Developer Policies.
Thank you.

My company's business is entirely based on being a Meta partner, bringing in many paying users (ads/WhatsApp). How can we trust the partnership when we don't have a direct support channel?

i am also facing this issue and would like to check if anyone have the any solution?
Got this email on 31 May and I have absolutely no idea what the underlying violations might be ?

My developer account is showing - You cannot access this service. For more information refer to Meta’s Platform Terms of Service and Developer Policy . If you believe you received this message in error, submit a support request.

Any luck on this from anyone? I am facing the same issue, and I did not remember breaking any meta rules, my app was working just fine for months before this.


I have had this issue since July 2025 appealed 3 times and they have not responded

Hi, I got the same issue Iv'e submitted their form twice but still didn't get any answer Is somebody looking into it? It is very urgent! please let me know if any one here help
happen to me too i was making Facebook instant games and i stopped working on them (they were not live) i come back year later i found the account suspended and there is no reason for that ... the appeal not working i think some sort of error bot trigger all of those suspensions

My account was also suspended, and I submitted two appeals while waiting for a response. There’s no clear reason for the suspensions. Do you have any advice? How can I start my app campaign instead?


Same thing here it has been months since the suspension. I have even deleted all the message templates and any catalogues I had just to make sure I don;t have anything in the account that might cause an issue. They have never replied till date. Has anyone ever been able to solve this?
Hello Meta Team,
I understand the concern regarding Platform Term 7.e.i.3.
Upon reviewing my setup, I realized that having multiple similar apps under the same brand may have unintentionally created the impression of duplicate or fallback systems.
These apps were created for testing and development purposes and were not actively used.
I have now simplified my setup and retained only a single, clearly defined app with a legitimate business use case. Any redundant or potentially conflicting configurations have been removed.
I am committed to full compliance with Meta’s policies and ensuring that my application is used strictly for legitimate purposes.
I kindly request a review of my account.
Thank you.

same i and one of my friend faced
I have no clue what shall I do to get access back to my developer portal. Meta, this is so stupid. I did not get any particular reason or intimation and no opportunity to fix anything. I am completely lost how to move forward with my product development.

Did anyone find a solution? I did try submitting the dispute form twice, but still no result.

any update regarding that i have same issue

My account has unused permissions.

Same here. This is ridiculous for Meta.

Is this the most depressing situation a human mind can even endure? Knowing that you are abandoned that your app is disabled without prior notification. Losing clients due to this disruption of this service. You spend a month of research and submit requests and integrating just for everything to be deleted in a heartbeats time. Is there nothing a small developer can do to resolve this? Just how lonely and depressing and helpless can you feel when you know that your efforts are wasted for nothing.


To anyone reading this, may God be on your side because that is all you have. Meta support is close to non-existent for small developers. There is no end to constant worrying and anxiety once you have decided to use their services because what you’ve built would be gone in an instant just because they deemed it that way. I hope that you find some comfort knowing that God knows you are suffering when working with meta
We’re having the same problem here with our accounts, and even though we’re certified technology partners, we still don’t get any support.

Hi everyone. Has anyone found a solution for this? It clearly seems to be a bug, and it’s seriously affecting my agency’s day-to-day operations.
Also, I wanted to ask if this happened to anyone else specifically: this supposed “policy violation” appeared right after receiving a fake Facebook account hacking/compromise alert.
I’m starting to wonder whether both issues could be related. Did anyone experience the same sequence of events?

Just got an alert that my account had a suspicious access attempt, I recovered it and changed pwd, could not find anything suspicious and wrong with it... Then I got a notification in Facebook that my app review request was cancelled (over a month running) and when I tried to access developers I saw that suspension message. After reading all of this I'm thinking my business is doomed now, what the heck.


The exact same thing happened to me, a login attempt, totally bizarre. To this day, I still haven't resolved it even though I've sent more than five appeals, even attaching files for validation, and nothing. It's been over three weeks now.
This is July 2025 and I dont know if this issue will be resolved.

Hello All,
Any solutions for this?? i've made my second appeal but meta is not responding!!!


Same issue this side too, Can anyone point out any alternate solutions if possible?

Facebook adding the appeal form that doesn't go anywhere rather than just reseting itself after a few days is really an insult to their customers. Why not put up a proper method to appeal these decisions.
same issue here. This morning I received an email saying that my account was blocked due to a suspicious access. I was able to recover it without any problems, the account apparently intact. A few hours later my Developer Facebook app (Meta Solutions Provider) was suspended due to Platform Term 7.e.i.3 - Disallowed use of apps We determined that you create or maintain apps intended to circumvent our enforcement actions.

Hey, This same thing has been happening with me, I just changed my webhook endpoint since our company has changed all its environment names in EC2 and chatgpt thinks it triggered this error on my side, I have asked the support team, its been more than 7-8 days yet I did not get any reply for this, By looking at all these answers, I can understand that this is a huge thing, I don't understand why it takes someone to respond atleast.
I have appealed twice till now and still found no results, My application entire logins are based on this triggering. Now no new users are able to login.

App running successfully for last six month suddenly on may 25 mail received say that please check required Action page some apps is violation the rule. Platform Term 7.e.i.3 - Disallowed use of apps but when clicked on required action button suspended page appear
Platform Term 7.e.i.3
Platform Term 7.e.i.3 - Disallowed use of apps We determined that you create or maintain apps intended to circumvent our enforcement actions.

Now loosing the clients and no help.

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I have a verified business and I know I meet all the meta requirements. I've made three appeals, but there hasn't been any response or change. I have an n8n account with WhatsApp nodes, and unfortunately, I need meta to connect WhatsApp to the business. This is proving to be a huge problem. Does anyone know if there's an alternative method for this? I've looked into doing it with Twilio, but I'd have to change all the n8n templates, and I don't know if it will work.

Hello, i'm facing this exact issue. any body managed to fixed this???

Hi, I got the same issue Iv'e submitted their form twice but still didn't get any answer Is somebody looking into it? It is very urgent!

App Restricted Without Violation – No Way to Contact Support?
Hi everyone,
I’ve been using the WhatsApp Business API through my app to manage communication for my restaurant. This morning, I was shocked to receive an email from Meta stating that my app has been restricted, citing reason 7.e.i.3.
What’s frustrating is:
I haven’t violated any of Meta’s policies (to the best of my knowledge).
I’m a paying user using the service for legitimate business purposes.
There seems to be no direct way to contact Meta support to clarify or resolve this.
Do we really need to go through all this stress despite being genuine users? It's extremely disheartening and feels unfair, especially when you're following the rules and still face such disruptions with no clear path to resolution.
Has anyone else faced this? What can be done in this situation?
Thanks in advance.


We tried everything and we have no support, we use the service correctly, our number is only receptive to answer questions from our customers and we were blocked and we don't know what to do anymore.

this looks harassments to me. how can meta be so rood on there customers. how can they simpy restrict there users from using there services that to businesses. I think I have done a big mistake by using meta for My business comunications. i would not have used WhatsApp.
Exact same thing here. Account suddenly suspended with this error and you can appeal but I don't think anybody is looking into it. Not long before realizing I had been suspended I got an email from Facebook stating that someone had tried to access my account. Not sure if it is related.


Exact same thing happend to me! and they are not responding to the appeals.

Same thing just happened to me.

exact same issue happened to me have anyone found any work around or any fixes
Same case for me. I was inactive too. I want to know if this is temporary or permanent.


I'm still suspended

Hi Lucas, I also got the same issue on the 31st of May 2025. I have made an appeal but i am yet to get access to my developer account. I am worried making another appeal as no response on the earlier submitted appeal has been made.

Platform Term 7.e.i.3 - Disallowed use of apps We determined that you create or maintain apps intended to circumvent our enforcement actions. This can include apps that bypass any restrictions or enforcement we’ve placed on your other apps or developer account due to a violation of our terms and policies..
for me also it is inactive , my account is also got suspended . what violations i have made ?? ’m genuinely working to build my apps whatsapp chatbots in good faith and have no intention of violating any of Meta’s terms. I would appreciate clarification so I can address the issue properly and avoid any future mistakes.
please let me know about this and reply to this or give us a solutions to this issue . @meta

This just happened to me, and I wasn't inactive weeks of sleepless nights trying to build something legitimate. Absolutely soul-crushing

Were you able to resolve this issue? Or do you at least understand the reason for the suspension?

I have the same problem, my developer account has been in use for over a year, without any changes and has been suspended.

Hi there,
I’m having a similar issue. My account was suspended two weeks ago, and despite appealing twice, it’s still suspended. Have you been able to resolve this?
It’s quite puzzling that accounts are suspended without any prior notice. I’d be more than happy to fix my apps, but I need to understand the underlying issue.

I use apps for WhatsApp Business API and have not violated anything but still got suspended for same reasons.

Did the issue got resolved??

Not in my case. We used a different account which has also been suspended without notice :(
