After spotting new ban reasons when violating WhatsApp’s Commerce Policy and the possibility for requesting a review for your WhatsApp ban in a future update, WhatsApp is now working on improving the design when using the dark theme:
As you can see in this screenshot, these icons that explain what’s the response for your ban review reflect the theme chosen from WhatsApp Settings > Theme: in fact, in the previous updates, these icons used the light style (the previous article contains the old screenshot) but they have been updated now. Since WhatsApp has updated these icons, it makes us think that it’s not long for the activation of the feature, so you should be able to request a review for your WhatsApp ban soon right within the app if you have been banned from using their service. A changelog will be posted on this website when the feature is available, so follow us!
