I cant seem to add 2FA to google/gmail

[davidst01]

I was using google authenticator attached to my gmail/ google acc for ages. Recently had to replace a broken screen on my iphone. I disabled 2FA prior

 

Now Im trying to re-install 2FA on google. I was logged into gmail and went to security settings. Navigated to the 2FA area and the following page is displayed:

 

Use your phone as your second sign-in step

Google will send a secure notification to your phone as your second factor during 2-Step Verification.

Get Google prompts on these devices now

All devices signed in to your Google Account will get prompts. You can control which phones get prompts in your 2-Step Verification settings.

 

My phone is listed under this narrative. 

 

i clicked on the try it now button

 

then the following screen is displayed:

 

Try getting a Google prompt

Google sent a prompt to xxxxx iPhone.

For iOS devices

Open the Gmail app and tap Yes on the prompt.

 

But I dont get anything sent to my phone.
