Meta Suspended My Dev Account. What Now?

A founder vented: “Meta just suspended my developer account. No warning. No mercy.”

The backstory? They were just testing a WhatsApp automation bot. Everything was happening inside dev mode. One wrong webhook linked to a different app, and boom — account gone.

Another added: “Same here. I was building a voice-to-LinkedIn bot. All messages were user-initiated. Still got flagged.”

Lesson: Meta’s enforcement is brutal and not always fair. If you’re building with Meta APIs, triple-check your webhook configs and don’t assume dev mode is a sandbox. It’s not.
