TITLE: WhatsApp locked my account as "under 13" after it intensionally for exploring the settings — QR code to fix it is broken, no appeal option, no human support (screenshot attached)
Screenshot attached showing the exact screen I've been stuck on for days.
What happened: I was testing WhatsApp's parental control setting and entered a random date of birth just to see the screen. It immediately stuck on "Link to a parent or guardian to use WhatsApp." No back button to out from it, I'm an adult, not a minor.
The only way forward is a QR code to link to a "parent's" device. That QR code fails to generate every time unlike before deleting the whatsapp, on every device, after multiple reinstalls, cache clears, and restarts. There is no back button, no appeal button, no "this is wrong" option — just a dead screen with one "Continue" button that does nothing.
any one have a guide? i take the Whatsapp support as well as the meta support also but still stucked.
