if you notice something that doesnโt sit right with you during the talking stage, walk away. stop convincing yourself that the red flag will magically disappear.
๐ฑIf you're unable to create an Apple Account due to phone number verification issues, try this.
1. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time.
- Toggle "Set Automatically" off.
- Select the correct Time Zone for your location.
- Make sure the date and time are accurate.
2. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services.
- Turn Location Services on.
3. Go to Settings > General > Language & Region.
- Set the Region to the country you're currently living in.
4. Restart your iPhone and try verifying your phone number again. It should work.
โซ๏ธ๐ฑ If the message you're getting is "Your account cannot be created at this time," try this:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Scroll. Then click on Apps.
3. Select Mail, then tap Mail Accounts.
4. Tap Add Account, select iCloud, then tap Create a New Apple Account.
5. Enter the required details and complete the setup.
(This has worked for many people.)
But if it still doesn't work, try these additional steps:
- Connect to a strong Wi-Fi or mobile data.
- Turn Airplane Mode on for about 30 seconds, then turn it off.
- You can also update your iPhone to the latest iOS version available.
- If you've made too many verification attempts, wait 24 hours before trying again because Apple may temporarily block further attempts.
- If your phone number was previously used on another Apple Account, you may need to remove it from that account or contact Apple Support.
- If you're unable to verify the number through your iPhone, try signing in throuh another person's iPhone or Apple device.
- You can also try to sign in through Apple's website (account . apple . com OR icloud . com). You can do this on any other device, whether iPhone or even Android or a laptop. Try using an incognito or private tab, in fact.
After trying these steps, let me know if it works.
