6. Confirm your number when asked. Tap Yes if it’s correct.
7. Grant permissions for Moya to access your contacts and media. Tap Accept.
8. Allow consent for the app to use your contact list and image information. Tap Accept again.

How to Check Your SASSA Status Via WhatsApp and USSD
If you want to know how to check your SASSA status via WhatsApp or USSD, don’t bother. As of 2025, there’s no official USSD code for this service. Codes like 12069277# and 1203210# listed by other publications don’t work, and the WhatsApp number 082 046 8553, also given by certain publications, remains unresponsive. Save yourself the frustration—these methods no longer provide SASSA status updates.
