The Instagram account I just registered with my phone number requires me to receive a verification code via WhatsApp when I enable 2FA, but I don’t have WhatsApp for this phone number. What should I do?

Check if there is an authenticator or SMS option for 2FA on Instagram settings. If not, then use the official method to recover your account since it may allow WhatsApp now and not third-party verification services.

If you have successfully logged in then it's easy as you can change the authentication type to SMS under Account Center on Instagram. I will recommend you use the Authentication App option where you use Google Authenticator or any other app you are comfortable with. This is method is safer and more secured.
 
U should try setting up an authenticator app under Accounts Center, Password and security, Two-factor authentication. Select ur Instagram account and check if the authentication app option is available and u can also check if SMS verification is offered instead.
 
Try setting up an authenticator app through Instagram’s Accounts Center, since it can generate codes without WhatsApp. If Instagram only offers WhatsApp at first, check the other verification options or try again after confirming your phone number.

Open Instagram settings and go to Accounts Center then Password and security. Select Two factor authentication and choose your Instagram account. If available select SMS or an authenticator app instead of WhatsApp
 
Skip 2FA via SMS/WhatsApp for now and use an authenticator app instead (Instagram → Settings → Accounts Center → Password and security → Two-factor authentication → choose “Authentication app”). That way you don’t need WhatsApp at all.
 
You should prioritize enabling two-factor authentication through an app like Google Authenticator and save backup codes in Account Center in case you need to recover them.

bro don't use WhatsApp or SMS for 2FA, Meta constantly glithes with phone code deliveries. u must switch to an Authentication App setup instead.
go to Accounts Center -> Two-Factor Authentication -> select Anthentication App. can save the secret key in GG Authenticator or 2FA Live. and u won't need WhatsApp at all. don't forget to save your recovery codes just in case :)
