Unable to transfer to new phone.
I bought a used iPhone 13. Did have an iPhone 8.
I transferred the SIM card, open the app on the new phone.
Input the phone number, confirm YES
1 Send a verification code, received and inputted it.
2 Message then says, you can now receive a verification code to authenticate this device.
3 Click - send code.
4 Message says, verify action timed out. Select - send new code. Get a message to wait - timed out.
Once this has done I send a code again - input code (back to stage 1)
Verification code gets sent and I enter it. And we go round and round stage 1 - 4 in a loop.
Phone never gets verified and what’s app Is not useable on the new device.
