1. 1/5Never Really Used it but the asking for phone number is sus

   I didn’t notice until now the Phone Number registration process,was meant for the company to give the phone number to some company that knows how to determine if you’re a scammer or not,but It is Sus,giving out your phone number can potentially give you robo calls,Might be a great way for someone to hack your account,Maybe this is a Trustful company for that but I refuse,to Trust some company I don’t really know & aren’t you Meta? Seeing someone talk about the registration process,I wonder if you really have to make sure someone also confirms your number,not just by the company but someone else too? I’m tired of seeing people from Facebook asking me if I have a WhatsApp & This App is really old news to me,I had it before & it wasn’t even close to connecting more with people,everytime I get asked if I have a What’sApp,I’m not sure if those types of People aka Strangers are going to request more from me when it’s fine on Messenger,just don’t give out any personal information & you’ll be fine.

2. 1/5Impossible for me to get registered

   So I guess your goal is to stop your own apps’ progresss?!! I can’t even register because it’s telling me to “contact a webchat user who meets the following condition (They do not have to be your webchat friend)” I copy/pasted below. I don’t know anyone that uses webchat. I wanted to try it out. All other platforms can find ways to verify people, but you choose the option that alienates people from ever using being able to use your app. Then to say, the person that assist you to verify DOES NOT have to be your webchat friend. Well, no one I know has it, so they won’t be able to get verified and that leaves me with asking RANDOM strangers IF they use webchat so they can help ME register. So weird for an app. No other options given for verification. I closed the app and went back in thinking they message was an error. NOPE! Same message and I can’t move forward. Deleting app. I WILL NOT asks a random stranger for help registering to an app. 🙄🙄🙄. This must be an app controlled by Xi Jinping or Kim Jong Un. This app is weird and unlike ANY APP I’ve seen as far as registration and verification. ”” a.Local users whose accounts have been registered for more than 1 month, or Mainland China users who have been registered for more than 6 months b.The account has not helped other people with Verify Friend's Registration in the last month c.The account has not been suspended in the last 6 months d. For Mainland China users, WeChat Pay need to have been activated””

3. 1/5Blocked Account Access

   Like many of the reviewers’ experience, I have been locked out of my WeChat account. And it appears that the developers have made it nearly impossible to reactivate my account. This has been the main way I have maintained communications with my relatives in China. And as many people know, the WeChat app is the predominant method for Chinese citizens to communicate with one other in China. When I told my relatives who used iPhones that it was possible to stay in touch without WeChat (by using iMessaging or FaceTime), all of them were completely unaware that these feature already existed on their phones. Later after doing some research about the developers of WeChat, I found out that the company allows the Chinese government to monitor communications of their users. Apple is very protective about their users’ privacy. It’s my guess that this is why WeChat is more heavily endorsed for usage in China than anywhere else in the world. Given all of the negative written reviews in English about WeChat, I am doubtful if the App Store’s cumulative 4 star rating for this app is reflective of a nonChinese, residence-based experience. The ratings may be weighted towards the mass numbers of Chinese citizens users rather than users from other countries. Considering that about half of my friends in the States who have been using WeChat have experienced a lockout from their accounts, I suspect the company may be closing these accounts in an attempt to limit exposure to foreign ideas or political images. If you are an Apple product user and have been locked out from accessing your WeChat account, I urge you to write in to Apple and ask them to address this problem with the app developers. Perhaps pressure from this tech giant may create better international tech support for nonChina-based users.

4. 1/5Once your account is locked, you are screwed over!

   The popularity of WeChat in China is tremendous, not because their product is amazing but the fact that this is the ONLY social media app in China. China has blocked other forms of social media developed by their foreign competitors. So when WeChat is the ONLY social media app, you are going to get MEDIOCRE customer service support. Like many others who depend on WeChat as a form of communication, it is absolutely ridiculous how DIFFICULT it is to unblock an account. I have contact for help in unblocking account for my father who is in his late 50s. They block him because they claim that he violated the Acceptable Use Policy and that would justify them asking for both his license and bank information to help him unblock. This is the first time I utilise a social media app with extremely strict policy and major invasion of privacy. How Chinese people are comfortable giving such information to a company basically control by the Chinese Communist Party government is crazy! My dad always praise that China is amazing but after dealing with one of the biggest social media platform in China... I disagree. If they are amazing dad, you wouldn’t have to complain to me why WeChat isn’t working anymore for you. Update: After 4 months of chasing them down and emailing them constantly, they were finally able to unlock this account. I thank the representatives that we’re finally able to push this through, and get this fixed. My dad can finally contact his family.

5. 1/5ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT??

   This Apps registration requirement is just mind boggling? I have NO problem whatsoever providing a phone number like so many Apps need nowadays...usually you give your number to a trustworthy developer to verify your a real person and they file with the other thousands of users Ph numbers and thats it, no big deal. But for “We Chat” they actually require you to some how randomly contact another user, who is a COMPLETE stranger from who knows were, and ask them to help you finish the registration process? Are you out of your minds? Your crazy and it blows my mind to think other users gave there actual Ph number to a total stranger who could be a hacker...a identity thief...convicted felon....killer...rapist or even worse? HOW CAN THEY EXPECT YOU TO DO SOMETHING SO DANGEROUS for such a common App that doesnt even look that promising or special? Its just SO wreckless and unacceptable and to know that there is even 1 person out that complied is by far 1 person to many? And if something does go wrong and a user is harmed in ANY way, WeChat developers should be be most definitely held responsible for causing it.....NO APP IS WORTH PUTTING YOURSELF IN HARMS WAY PEOPLE? WOW?
