Possible Reasons for Non-Delivered Campaigns and Messages


This error may occur due to one of these reasons:

• The recipient phone number is not a WhatsApp phone number

• Recipient Phone Number has blocked your business

• Recipient has not accepted WhatsApp's new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

• Recipient using an old WhatsApp version; must use the following WhatsApp version or greater:

◦ Android: 2.21.15.15 ◦ SMBA: 2.21.15.15 ◦ iOS: 2.21.170.4 ◦ SMBI: 2.21.170.4 ◦ KaiOS: 2.2130.10 ◦ Web: 2.2132.6

• The message was not delivered to create a high quality user experience.

WhatsApp imposes a max limit of marketing template messages that a contact can receive in a certain time across all businesses. You can read more about this here - Per-User Marketing Template Message Limits.


How to solve this?


Using a non-WhatsApp communication method, ask the WhatsApp user to:

• Confirm that they can actually send a message to your WhatsApp business phone number.

• Confirm that your WhatsApp business phone number is not in their list of blocked numbers (Settings > Privacy > Blocked or Blocked contacts).

• Confirm that they have accepted WhatsApp's latest Terms of Service (Settings > Help, or Settings > Application information will prompt them to accept the latest terms/policies if they haven't done so already)

• Update to the latest version of the WhatsApp client.
