Despite being launched after Facebook, Zalo is currently a popular and favored social network in Vietnam. With strict conditions, recently, many people have encountered the situation of Zalo accounts not existing due to policy violations. So how to handle a locked Zalo account? Let’s find out the reasons and solutions with FPT Shop below.

What does it mean when Zalo reports that an account does not exist?

When accessing your chat bubble on Zalo or logging into your own account and receiving the notification “Zalo account does not exist”, it means that the account has been permanently deleted on Zalo.

Causes of Zalo accounts not existing?

The reasons for this situation can be mentioned as follows:

Zalo password loss: This is a common situation that often occurs with those who use Zalo while using other social networks like: Facebook, Skype, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Using multiple passwords for accounts can make users confused or forgetful. Multiple unsuccessful login attempts will result in the account being locked.

Zalo account hacked: Your account is hacked to retrieve information or for personal gain, which is also a reason why the account is permanently deleted.
Sharing copyrighted content: Sharing data that violates copyright is a reason Zalo will temporarily suspend your account. As one of the rules on Zalo that users have to comply with is the policy of respecting the copyright of the author and the work. If impersonating someone to provide misleading information or publish a service or work without the author’s permission, getting the account deleted is natural.
Sharing phishing links: Using Zalo to share information or phishing links that affect others is also a reason for your account being locked. Zalo has a policy that does not allow users to use phishing links, whether intentionally or unintentionally sharing or disseminating false information. In addition, depending on the seriousness of the serious impact, your Zalo account will be locked for 30 days or more.
Viewing and sharing sensitive content: Zalo also has regulations on banning the posting and sharing of sensitive content, violating ethics to carry out illegal transactions. So if you violate the account, it will be permanently deleted.
