Account recovery contact is showing as pending even after they accept

After I send a request for an account recovery contact and the person accepts it, I get a notification on my phone saying that they accepted the request. However, in my settings for account recovery, it still shows the request as pending. And after a day or so, it then shows as “Not Available”

Hi Dg1221,


We'll be glad to help you out with this further. Did you halve a chance to look at the article viewed before posting, to verify all of the requirements were met? Here it is again: Set up an account recovery contact


If so, and you are still are having the same issue; you'll need to reach out to Apple here for further support:
