Once you have entered your phone number (required to create your WhatsApp account, you will need to agree to this number being verified by SMS. This SMS will contain the verification code that it will ask you.
In case the SMS did not reach you, something that can happen, you can click on “resend SMS”. If it still does not arrive, you can ask to be called. A robot will call you and repeat the number over and over, so you can type it into the verification window.
Configure your master data
Once you have verified your phone number, you will need to put in a profile picture and a name. You can use your phone’s camera to do this right now or add it directly from your gallery.
This data is what your contacts will see (although you can still hide your profile picture and other data) for maximum privacy in the app.

Once you have configured your phone number to activate the account, picture and name, you can now use whatsapp. When you open it, it will be completely empty, but in the “ start a chat ” section, the contacts that you have on the SIM card will appear as long as they have a WhatsApp account, so that you can chat with them.
