Why is my WhatsApp API phone number stuck at "Pending"?

This status usually means something is incomplete. It could be:

  • The number is still active on another WhatsApp account
  • Authentication wasn’t finalized
  • Meta is still reviewing

To fix it:

  1. Go to Meta Business Manager > WhatsApp Manager > Phone Numbers
  2. Select the pending number
  3. Generate a new access token
  4. Ensure the number can receive SMS or calls

If the issue persists, contact Chakra or Meta support to resolve it.
