In this video you will learn how to fix the Google is verifying your number loop when creating an account. I will show you the fastest ways to bypass the phone verification screen or solve the stuck loading message so you can finish setting up your Gmail or Google profile without any errors.
Getting stuck on the verify your phone number screen is a very common problem when creating a new Google account on Android, iPhone, or PC. This often happens because Google detects too many accounts being made from your IP address or because your phone number has been used too many times for verification. Sometimes the verification screen just spins forever or gives an error message saying something went wrong.
To fix the Google account verification problem and complete your setup, follow these steps:
1. Turn off your Wi-Fi and switch to Mobile Data (LTE/5G) because Google sometimes blocks specific home internet IP addresses that it finds suspicious.
2. Open a new Incognito or Private window in your browser before starting the sign-up process to clear any previous tracking cookies.
3. If you are on a phone, try creating the account through the Android Settings under Accounts or the Gmail app rather than using a mobile browser.
4. If your number is rejected, try using a different phone number from a friend or family member just for the initial SMS code.
5. If the screen is still stuck on verifying your number, clear the cache of the Google Play Services app in your phone settings and restart your device.
6. As a last resort, wait 24 to 48 hours without making any attempts so Google resets the security flag on your device and IP.
Why does Google keep asking to verify my phone number?
Google uses this as a security measure to prevent bots and spam accounts, so if it sees anything unusual about your connection, it will force the verification.
Can I skip the phone verification step?
The skip button only appears if Google thinks your connection is highly trusted, which is why using a fresh mobile data connection or an old device often helps.
What if I do not receive the SMS verification code?
Check that your SIM card is active and that you have not blocked messages from unknown short codes in your messaging app settings.
