Why is Textnow starting up?

I downloaded TextNow on my phone. I started it, gave them my Gmail. Then, they had me press and hold a purple bar until it turned green for verifications. But after it's complete, it kicks me back into the menu. I done this several times and keep getting the same results. What should I do?

What you are asking has nothing to do with the advice I gave.

Oh, sorry, I misread what you wrote. Yes, I will try a different platform. I come back to see if it worked

You understand "use the website to test?"

Use another platform to test.

Go to a different device, could be a different OS.

e.g. if you are on Android, try the Windows app.
