I have been using my Glo line for WhatsApp since I started using this Apple ID and all of a sudden WhatsApp couldn’t verify my number anymore. Why is this happening?

If you've previously used your phone number on WhatsApp while it was associated with a different device (like an old phone), and you've now inserted that SIM card into a new device, WhatsApp might detect this change.
WhatsApp has security measures in place to identify and prevent unauthorized access to accounts. These measures constantly monitor for any discrepancies between the phone number and the device it's being used on.
When WhatsApp detects that a phone number is being used on a new device, it may trigger a security check. This could result in:
These actions are taken to safeguard your account from potential hacking attempts and to ensure that only the rightful owner can access it.

That sounds like a WhatsApp issue. Meta (WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram) have to make their app compatible with iPhones, not the other way around. Please contact the support team at WhatsApp for advice on your issue.

Hmmm… any reason to think you’ve been banned by WhatsApp?
That's something you'd need to ask WhatsApp. Apple doesn't provide or verify mobile numbers.
