You have to confirm your phone number all over the setup process while using WhatsApp, no matter how long you’ve been using it or how many times you’re reinstalling it. You must use the 6-digit code that WhatsApp texts you in order to complete the verification process. However, sometimes your phone never receives the code. If it does, the code isn’t functional.
What choices do you have, therefore, if you don’t get the WhatsApp verification code? So, how do you create an account on WhatsApp? For a few possible fixes, go to this guide.
How WhatsApp’s Verification Process Works
Let’s take a quick look at WhatsApp’s basic setup procedure before we get into solutions for the verification code issue.
Maybe you’ll see something that slipped your notice. To follow your download of WhatsApp from the Play Store or App Store, you’ll be asked to:
- Locate and choose your nation using the drop-down option. After that, the country code will show up automatically.
- Input your phone number by typing it beside the country code. Don’t forget not to precede the number with a ‘0’.
- Click on Next. With this step, WhatsApp will get a request for a verification code.
Following that, you should practically get the code via SMS. Although it might not function on certain older phones, it is meant to automatically fill in the number field on the screen. The verification code may not appear for up to 15 seconds in certain situations. But what if, even after that, you still don’t receive the code?
