Why has my WhatsApp stopped sending messages?

There are a few reasons why your WhatsApp messages might stop sending. If you're sure your phone is connected to the Internet, here are a few things you can check:

• Your phone needs to be restarted or turned off and on. This can often fix minor software issues that can prevent WhatsApp from sending messages.
• The contact you're messaging has blocked your number. If you're sure you're not blocked, you can try sending a message to a different contact to see if that works.
• There is a problem with your WhatsApp account. If you're still having problems, you can try logging out of WhatsApp and logging back in. If that doesn't work, you can contact WhatsApp support for help.
