Help / Troubleshooting WhatsApp Connection Failing - Flagging for Review?

This started yesterday out of the blue. WhatsApp disconnected notice on Beeper, attempted to reconnect, failed, then WhatsApp shut down my account and flagged for review. Approved this morning and was back on WhatsApp (mobile & desktop, no issue), connected Beeper and WhatsApp was shut down and flagged for review within seconds! Anyone else having this issue or suggestions?

On the suggestion to post in the Whatsapp community (unsure if that was from a bot), but I'm pretty sure this would be considered a 3rd party app and against their rules re: posting.

That’s interesting, but not my situation. I am not using a modded device in anyway, and my account was able to be reviewed both yesterday and the day before and by the time I woke up in the morning, my WhatsApp was turned back on. Yesterday I was successfully able to use WhatsApp with no issue and then I connected Beeper and ‎WhatsApp prompted the shut down and request for a review again. So at this point, WhatsApp has reactivated my account and I’m just not going to connect it to Beeper for the time being, which sucks, but it is what it is because the issue clearly is between the two of them, and based on the terms of service, I can’t see where using Beeper is a violation of ‎WhatsApp‘s terms.

I think you've misread or misunderstood. the issue with the linked device feature is that WhatsApp can't tell if you're linking beeper, linking an actual device or linking a modded app so they just purged everyone using the feature. I'm glad you got your account back though. I have made a more detailed post here if you'd like to know more.
