Utterly unusable. Everything from the registration process (a phone call with authentication figures read out far too quickly to be able to remember) to all the ID requirements and then it doesn't even work. My account is blocked - but why, I haven't had chance to do anything yet! I'm told it's essential for Chinese citizens but as a foreigner just use Alipay for payments. Still not easy to set up, but at least it works. It'll be a joy to uninstall this junk.

Extremely difficult to sign up for this app outside of China and territory. Furthermore even after downloading the app, going through the process it keeps saying that you need someone else to read the QR code and register you. I eventually registered via Facebook account but now I bound to both providers and I am unable to access the the payment section in Wechat. Other than that it's one of the best apps I have ever had and highly recommend it to you, if you can register for it.

Very stupid sign up process, first what if i can't find anyone who has had a wechat account for over 6 months since I'm in the UK? And after someone verifying me, I clicked back to sign up and nothing happened. And why can they only verify me if they haven't verified anyone in the past month??!? Bold of you to assume i know lots of people who use wechat in England, and especially since I can't even go out during the pandemic. Seems like many also have the same problem.
