Can't even sign up. It keeps on telling me "Unusual network or device environment. Try using a stable connection". The earlier stage of verification is also having problems. Like "choose two trees in winter" I pressed it, it said success then failed. Which one do you want? What's even the point of asking for it if it's not going to work. What's up with "invite another user to complete registration"? Unnecessary steps. I don't know if the devs are going to read this but fix those issues asap

Worse app ever. Opened an account with phone number and I haven't even started using the app yet that I can't log back in! It says account blocked for some reason. I haven't even started using it yet! LOL wt 😂 Have unlocked the account (which is really a pain) but then every time I want to log back in, same issue. So after a couple of times, too cumbersome to bother. Easily the worse app ever. Uninstalled directly

Sometimes I get no notification about new messages. This does not happen with any other messenger app I use, would make those apps also pretty useless. Sometimes if I receive a message just after I left the app, I can feel a vibration, but no notification is shown. When I then switch into the app, I can see there is indeed a new message. Links from chats are always opened in the WeChat Browser. I want to use my default browser. The WeChat browser seems to route everything over Chinese servers. Sometimes if your servers have problems, the page doesn't even load. That's a problem, because this menu item "open with browser" does only appear after the page starts loading.. and it's not even possible to copy an URL from the chat! So in case your Chinese servers for the browser routing are down, all links are dead! The Windows App is not showing the complete chat history from my phone and makes it therefore useless.. WeChats answer to "Why doesn't my prior chat log appear when I log in to WeChat from a new device?" is the following: "WeChat was designed with your privacy and safety in mind." If that would be the truth, you would have implemented an end-to-end encryption!
