WhatsApp Error 132015: Template Paused Due to Low Quality — How to Unpause
Meta automatically pauses message templates when a high percentage of recipients report the message as spam or block your phone number immediately after receiving it.
Step-by-Step Resolution
Recommended Fix Protocol:
Meta automatically pauses templates for 3 to 6 hours for a cooling-off period. Audit your targeting list: remove unengaged users, add a clear Unsubscribe quick-reply button, and rewrite the template with value-first language before resuming.
