Unlike many companies, WhatsApp doesn’t have a support telephone number, so you will have to use the Contact Us area of the mobile app or visit WhatsApp.com/Contact on the web to get in touch. On the website, you can email WhatsApp questions related to messenger support, your business account, or accessibility concerns. If you're having technical difficulties that prevent you from contacting WhatsApp online, or you just need to send them a more official notice, you can write a letter to their corporate office. This wikiHow teaches you how you can get in touch with WhatsApp.

Write a letter to WhatsApp’s headquarters if technology fails you. If your phone and computer are not working, or you need to submit something more official (like a certified letter), you can send a letter to WhatsApp.
- WhatsApp’s corporate address is WhatsApp Inc / 1601 Willow Road / Menlo Park, CA / 94025
-
Clearly state your contact information in the letter. Like writing an email, you should include your phone number in international format with the country code and any specific issues you’re experiencing.
- Be specific about how you can receive communication—for example, if you can't get into your email account, don't provide your email address—get an alternate address and provide that instead, or include your phone number or mailing address.
- Don’t ask a question that’s answered in the FAQ section. Customer support prioritizes reports of issues and will not answer a question that is answered by the FAQ.
-
Add technical information about your problem. If you're contacting WhatsApp for technical support in writing, include the exact text of any error messages you see when you try to use your account. WhatsApp support will want to know when you’re experiencing the issue and if it can be reproduced. You'll also want to include the device model you're using (such as Google Pixel 3 or Apple iPhone XR).
- For example, you can write, “Why does my screen in WhatsApp video call keep freezing? It’s been happening every time I make a video call on my iPhone SE 2. How can I fix this?” and then leave your phone number in international format.
- Another example of an inquiry could be, “My phone keeps telling me I have WhatsApp messages when I don’t. It started about a week ago telling me there was one. This is happening every day now. How do I fix this?”
-
Send your letter to WhatsApp. Depending on your concern and the contact information you provided, you may hear back from WhatsApp via regular mail, your phone number, or via email.

Tips
- WhatsApp has no phone number to call, so any number you see is most likely a scam.Thanks
- WhatsApp does have a social media presence, including a Facebook Page and the @WhatsApp Twitter account . They do not officially reply to support requests on either of these accounts, so contacting them on social media may not yield a response.Thanks
