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.
