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:
- Go to Meta Business Manager > WhatsApp Manager > Phone Numbers
- Select the pending number
- Generate a new access token
- Ensure the number can receive SMS or calls
If the issue persists, contact Chakra or Meta support to resolve it.
