You can try and update your trusted phone number. Phone numbers are just phone numbers. There is not such thing as an iPhone phone number or an android one


  1. Go to Settings  > [your name] > Sign-In & Security, then tap Two-Factor Authentication.
  2. Tap Edit (above the list of trusted phone numbers), then enter your device passcode when prompted.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Add a number: Tap Add a Trusted Phone Number, then enter the phone number.
    • Remove a number: Tap  next to the phone number.
  1. When you’re finished making changes, tap Done.
