You have to wait to next day from the time you change it for the number to update. It happened to me when I change number. It don't update right away so I wait next day to check settings and it finally updated.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Did you also update the phone number in your credit card account and bank account? All info must match with all accounts. Something is triggering the security measure.
