well mine is now okay , it also used to say it’s unofficial WhatsApp untill i tried to register my WhatsApp with someone elses number then it sent an sms for code then i tried with my number again that was when it sent me the code also . I think my problem was “eSim” maybe my iPhone wasnt recognising that i had a simcard moreover there are some number from my previous network provider that cannot reach to me via calls since i moved from another network provider to a new one .


in all I think the eSim is the problem but not the phone .
