Verifying your mobile number
A one-time check that keeps the platform free of throwaway accounts.
More in Getting started
We send one 6-digit code to WhatsApp and your email at the same time. Whichever reaches you first, use it. The code lasts 5 minutes, and you can ask for a new one after a minute. Requesting a new code cancels the old one.
Verification is required for exactly three things
- Publishing your page.
- Starting a new conversation with someone.
- Posting a review.
Everything else is open. You can browse, build your page, fill in every section and receive enquiries without verifying. Explorers are never asked during sign-up — only the first time they message someone or leave a review.
No code arriving?
WhatsApp only receives the code if the number you entered is a mobile. If WhatsApp cannot deliver, a verified email address will do instead — so check the inbox on the address you signed up with, including spam.
