# Can my WhatsApp account affect my Meta ad accounts?

Your WhatsApp account is a separate section of your Business Manager: a WhatsApp restriction or block has no effect on your ads, your pages or your Business Manager.

Many brands ask us this when connecting WhatsApp: "If my WhatsApp account is restricted or blocked, could I lose my ad accounts?" The answer is no. Your WhatsApp account and your advertising are two separate sections at Meta.

## How Meta organizes your assets

The **Business Manager** (also called business portfolio) is the main entity. It contains several independent sections:

-   your ad accounts;
    
-   your Facebook pages and Instagram accounts;
    
-   your catalogs and data sources (pixel);
    
-   your **WhatsApp Business account**, the one Kanal uses.
    

The WhatsApp account is just one subcategory of the Business Manager, like the others. Connecting WhatsApp to Kanal creates or uses this WhatsApp section without changing anything else.

## What happens if WhatsApp is restricted or blocked

If Meta restricts, blocks or bans your WhatsApp account, the sanction stays limited to WhatsApp:

-   your **ad accounts keep working** and your ad campaigns are not stopped;
    
-   your **Facebook pages and Instagram accounts** are not affected;
    
-   the **quality of your Business Manager** is not affected.
    

> **Info:** Using WhatsApp with Kanal puts your Meta advertising at no risk. The quality of your WhatsApp account and that of your ad accounts are tracked separately.

## The only shared thing: the messaging limit

The WhatsApp messaging limit (250, 2,000, 10,000 unique recipients per 24h, etc.) is shared by all WhatsApp numbers of the same Business Manager. This only concerns WhatsApp: your ads have no limit tied to your WhatsApp sending.
