What are /r/Wechat's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Having to refresh the app every 7 days seem pretty useless, and I'm not sure why you would want that? I assume you're referring to https://altstore.io/. Again, VPN is probably the best bet, unless if WeChat takes the TikTok approach and regionally bans in return via IMEI (doubtful, though).

Since the previous comment was purposefully vague, they are referring to downloading AltStore, which does require reinstating the app every 7 days. In my opinion, this is useless for your use case: https://altstore.io/

Would you be able to help me unblock my account?

And that individual should be the same country with you. It is not writing on WeChat's documentation for this situation. However personally me and my friends tried to activate several accounts from abroad. We couldn't do it since the app was asking account to be in same region with blocked user. I don't think there are active Canadians redditors on here. Maybe you should give a try to /r/canada.

You need to find someone from your country.

No one can help you about this. You will need to unlock WeChat account yourself, there are instructions on here: https://www.howtochatonline.net/chat-apps/how-to-unlock-wechat-account/

Your WeChat Pay should have the same password as your WeChat...no? Can you write to WeChat customer service and get help? I think that is what I would try...

According to the play store, it currently requires 5.0 - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mm&hl=en&gl=us

It's possible you may be able to install and use an older version of wechat - see https://wechat.en.uptodown.com/android/versions - but on my iphone 5 that's not the case, as the latest version of wechat available for the 5 says it's out of date and takes me to the apple store to upgrade (and then there's no upgrade available).

I am trying TunnelBear. Could you do me a favour and try sending a message while using VPN? I'm thinking China might have banned use of VPN's on its apps because of its strict internet policy.

Please let me know what the result is.

Yep. It’ll work fine. Facebook (along with most of the internet as you know it) won’t unless you have a VPN. I’d try Astrill, Express, or Vypr. Lots of VPNs don’t actually work over there. You need a good one to actually get though. It’s definitely worth it to have a VPN over there. And must install before you go, cause it’s tough to get it once you’re over there. Side note: I wouldn’t give any Chinese app my location data unless absolutely necessary (like getting food delivered).
