You can fix iCloud access and verification code issues on your iPhone by checking your network connection, adjusting Screen Time restrictions, or recovering your account online.

Check Basic Settings

  • Internet connection: Make sure your phone has a strong Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
  • Software update: Update your iPhone to the latest iOS version in Settings > General > Software Update.

Not sure what you mean by: "The code doesn’t go on my number as a message". How you resolve an iCloud account issue depends on the message you receive when attempting to access iCloud. There are dozens of reasons why you would not be able to access iCloud, but we really need to narrow down what you are seeing.
