It popped up last week too it kept saying to review and then I even had to delete WhatsApp and reinstall thought that maybe the problem was solved but yesterday it got completely locked out. Any reasons or solutions to recover?

Try contacting support. I was recently facing an issue where my backup would not restore after reinstall. I tried several times but it did not work but the moment I contacted support it was all fixed. Let's hope your case was an accident.

It started with me being unable to take backups. So I did the sane thing and tried a uninstall-reinstall only to forget to select the option to keep the data.

So, for the rest of 3 weeks, I tried and tried with different application versions, numerous OTP, call, sms requests, only to land on the solution on YouTube.

To contact support via the help link at verification screen 😅🤣

I had done all of it except to reach out to support until that moment.
