I have to have WhatsApp installed on one of my phones for work purposes. It’s not possible to ask my work to give me a phone (I’m on zero-hours contract). I do have two phones - one DeGoogled pixel running CalyxOS and one iPhone XS. The iPhone I use for banking apps and basically anything that ties directly to me. Apple Pay...

According to the docs, you still need the whatsapp client on a physical or virtual device to call back home every 2 weeks or so, which is really annoying.
I also tried the route of using a disposable number for the activation code without any success.
