WhatsApp Mobile Apps are designed for one to one communication by humans so sending more than 40 messages in a minute to 40 unique contacts is practically not possible to achieve by a human and this sending pattern will detect by WhatsApp inbuilt Machine Learning Algorithms and leads to blockage of your number.

If you wish to send mass messages then we recommend to create more projects and distribute the message load across all the projects. For example, if you would like to send 100 messages in a minute then we recommend to create 4-5 projects and distribute the messages between all the projects.

Legal Disclaimer

Even though Picky Assist research and development team puts all the best effort to make the android bridge app error-free and stable but due to 1000’s+ phone manufactures and custom Android OS we don’t guarantee error-free operations of the picky assist phone-based automation. If you are facing any issues please report us and we will put all the possible efforts to resolve the issue.

Please note Picky Assist is not using any official Android API's to automate your Phone, instead we make use of Advanced Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Reflex Technology which are very complex and each phone and OS have its own behaviour and security layers. Even though we support 95% of the phones and OS still an update or small change in the phone OS or hardware leads to problems. So we highly recommend to please try our services before MAKING ANY PAYMENTS. Read Complete LImitaitons & Legal Disclaimer
