I only use this to contact friends in China, and it works great. I have found no issues with the app. However, my one problem is trying to unrestrict my account. It requires you to contact a friend and have them verify you which can be annoying and I wish there was a feature where you can verify yourself without friends or just individually. Good app nonetheless

Chinese here, just wanna clarify a bit. Yes WeChat has awful signup and login experience, but in some sense it's a feature rather than a bug. In China it's not only a messaging app but also the primary payment method which means login/signup security matter a lot. Most people use it at least once per day and just stay logged once registered. In general it's not Tencent's fault to design it this way, but it is their fault to publish such a thing to Google Play without any adaptations.

The app won't let me register. I put my info in, agree to the ToS, and it turns black for about 60 seconds, then white until I get a "not responding" message. I've contacted support a few times, but no response. And it's been 2 weeks since the first email. People I know are fleeing Facebook for WeChat and I want to follow. But I can't. I have a Samsung note 8.
