I know it was 3 days ago, but I just got an additional data point.
In the Amazon app, the same I normally use, on my normal account, I used Switch Accounts option, and proceeded to create a separate, additional Amazon account.
I entered a different, new email address and my real name.
Amazon happily sent me a verification email, I entered the code. I was then prompted to enter a phone number, I did so (it's a number I never used with Amazon (to my second phone)).
Amazon then requested me to enter the code it sent over on *WhatsApp*.
I tried to take a screenshot but it came out all black.
I don't have WhatsApp account with this number.
There was an option to resend it through a normal text message but first it sent out a code on WhatsApp. That should never be a default.
