# `bird whatsapp suppressions remove`

## Usage

```bash
bird whatsapp suppressions remove <suppression-id> [flags]
```

## Description

End one WhatsApp suppression by ID. The record is kept and stays readable. Only suppressions with reason `manual` can be ended; a recipient's own opt-out is refused.

This is destructive and cannot be undone; pass --yes to confirm.

## Examples

```bash
bird whatsapp suppressions remove <id> --yes
```
