No Verification:

Earlier, you could verify your smartphone with WhatsApp and start using the application instantly. But, this will not happen this time!

Tiff With Microsoft:

From December 31, 2019, the Facebook-owned messaging application has withdrawn support for all Windows phones. Also, it ended support with its Windows 10 Mobile OS the very same day.
