5. Confirm your number by tapping '<mark style="color:blue;">YES</mark>'.
6. You'll need to verify your number with a 6-digit code. Since you're using a landline, tap "<mark style="color:blue;">Didn't receive a verification code</mark>?" then select '<mark style="color:blue;">📞Call Me</mark>'. WhatsApp will call your landline with the code.

7. After entering the verification code, tap '<mark style="color:red;">Skip Restore</mark>' when prompted to restore from iCloud.
8. Decide whether to grant WhatsApp Business access to your contacts. We recommend choosing '<mark style="color:red;">Don't Allow</mark>' for privacy reasons.
9. <mark style="color:green;">**Setup is complete 💪🏻**</mark> - You'll now have two WhatsApp icons on your home screen: one for personal use and one for business.
