Troubleshooting

Number migration or registration failed

Registration or migration can fail for a few predictable reasons. Work through these before retrying.

Common causes

The number is still attached to another provider, so Meta will not move it. The two-factor PIN is wrong or unknown. The number is still on the WhatsApp app, so it cannot register fresh. Or the OTP step did not complete.

Fix it

1
If migrating, release the number at the current provider first.
2
If the number is on the WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app, delete that account and wait two hours before registering.
3
If you do not know the 2FA PIN, reset it from Meta's WhatsApp Manager, then retry.
4
Re-run registration and complete the OTP verification by call or text.
The two-hour rule

After deleting a number from the WhatsApp app, wait a full two hours before registering it on the API, or registration will fail.
