How to check your WhatsApp number status in Meta

Where to see whether your number is Connected, Pending, Limited, Disabled or In Review β€” and what each status means.

Before troubleshooting anything else, check what Meta says about your number. Most "eGrow is not sending" reports turn out to be a number that is Restricted, Pending or Disabled.

Where to look

  • Go to business.facebook.com/wa/manage and log in with the Business Manager that owns the WABA.
  • Open WhatsApp Accounts in the left menu and select your WABA.
  • Open the Phone Numbers tab β€” every connected number is listed with its status.

What each status means

  • Connected β€” active, sending and receiving normally.
  • Pending β€” setup or verification still running; wait for it to finish.
  • Limited β€” messaging limit reached or the account is temporarily restricted.
  • Disabled β€” banned for a policy violation.
  • In Review β€” under review, for example after a migration or an appeal.
  • Unverified / Verified β€” whether your business itself has been verified.
