  1. What should I do if I didn’t receive the verification SMS? If you didn't receive the verification SMS, ensure that you're using the correct phone number. Check your mobile network signal, and try restarting your device. If the problem persists, you can request a call to receive the verification code.
  2. Can I verify my WhatsApp account without access to my old phone? No, you need access to your old phone to receive the SMS verification code. If you've lost your old phone, you may need to use the Change Number feature if you're using a new number or contact WhatsApp support for further assistance.
