If your account is locked and the primary mobile number registered to your account is lost or inactive, you will not be able to receive a verification code via WhatsApp or SMS to unlock your account. Please note that WhatsApp and SMS verification codes will only be sent to the primary phone number registered to your account. Therefore, in this situation, you will need to update your primary phone number first. Here are the steps to change your primary phone number if your account is locked :
