We see a disproportionate number of accounts being verified on the phone. This 
means that users are registering on a computer, feeling their pockets vibrate, 
and clicking the link in their smartphone email. Android is the #3 OS for 
viewing the “account verified” screen where as it is only #8 when it comes to 
viewing the registration screen. This is only possible as people are more 
likely to check their email on their phones.

Not every user will see the “account verified” screen in all contexts.

Is it low effort? I think legal/privacy might feel differently about collecting 
phone numbers and sending SMS messages.

I’m all for experiments though, but my money is on improving the 
post-verification emails with app/play store buttons.
