Please follow each app&#8217;s terms and local regulations.<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A verification code is just a one-time passcode (OTP) sent by SMS (sometimes email) to confirm it&#8217;s really you.

Short-code SMS can be blocked at the carrier level even when regular texts work. The newest code is the only code that matters. If you keep retrying, you can accidentally make the delivery worse. A code not received issue is usually a delivery issue, not a TikTok bug.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Minute_Checklist\"><\/span><strong><b>2-Minute Checklist<\/b><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the fastest triage path.
