4. Check the internet

Sometimes your current internet source becomes useless for using WhatsApp in such case you get such an error. Even some have reported that weak Internet can cause an interruption in verifying your authority on WhatsApp.

So, try connecting to different Internet if available. If you have different network provider Internet then try using that, or if you have broadband WI-FI then try using that too, in some cases this solution works!


5. Update WhatsApp:

I have experienced this WhatsApp error was due to the old version of Whatsapp. The new version of Whatsapp comes with the latest features and addons which aren’t supported by the old version. Thus try to update WhatsApp through the Play store.

Follow the steps given below to update Whatsapp Messenger:

  1. Open Google Play Store.
  2. Search “WhatsApp”.
  3. If Update is available then update the WhatsApp.

6. Restart your Smartphone

Sometimes there is a bug in the working Android or iOS device which is the root cause of this problem and it doesn’t allow your smartphone to work normally. So to sort out such bugs you just have to restart your smartphone and it will fix most of the bugs easily.


7. Put your Sim on another phone

If you are in hurry to the OTP then, just remove your sim card and put it on another phone or feature phone, it might work now and your OTP might come now.


8. Call Customer Care

If you have followed all the above methods and none of them worked for you to receive OTP, then try calling customer care of WhatsApp.

After calling, explain your’s fair situation to them, and they will definitely help you out from this situation.

    • As per my experience Whatsapp blocks your account if you ave done something against policies of whatsapp.

      This ban is temporory and you will be able to login to your account again in 3-6 months.

      You can contact whatsapp for more support & guidance.
