FAQ

How do I prevent banning of my account?

There is nothing in yowsup itself that would trigger a ban for your account. How you use yowsup is what might guarantee you a ban. There should be no bans with personal/private usages on own personal devices. Setting up on a server on the other hand and/or sending bulks of messages is known to cause bans. Since this library is intended for personal and private use, no support will be given and no measures will be implemented/advised for to prevent bans. Any relevant issues will be deemed invalid and closed.
