My phone used to have wechat. But I have un-installed it after months of not using it.
Now, I install wechat (on the same phone). After entering my phone number, 2FA code with sms (also tried with password) and doing the puzzle, it gives me a set of numbers and ask my friend to verify my account. I'm stuck here.
Where do I enter that unique ID numbers on my friend's phone to verify?

I have tried creating a new account and the verification method is still the same:- it gives me a unique ID number.

I'm surprised that all my previous 2FA like voice recognitions go useless when it forces another person to verify my login.

How do I proceed?

Wechat is f_cked up permanently app

are you merrid men?

Follow as have same issue as TS

you need choose one of your WeChat friend and send him or her the verification request and inform him to verify you.

I am wondering, why still Ada orang guna WeChat?

rumit, mahuan, no auto backup and if your phone kaput o E day, your messages history are gone

Got new verification type now?
Usually just pick a friend you already know in your contact list as verification

I recently travel to China I need to install back wechat. When I reset password I need to do the following.



Request your previously added wechat friend to type the 6 digits and send it to you through wechat then only can get approval.

how do I send my friend the request when I can't login?

Happen to my phone after i reboot it. Need this and that. Very annoying. Forget how i manage to get back my wechat....happen last year. Try look at youtube

once they request you to verify your ID, they give you two options, one of them is to request your friends to verify you

Opt that option. Once your friend has done it, you can login then.

can I ask someone who is not in my contact list to add me (via phone number), then send the unique ID?

Use WhatsApp to ask or call them or meet them face to face, ask for help, please send me a wechat message, type the 6 digits passcode to me.

Cannot. They must be your previously added wechat friend.

cannot

better stop to use useless sampah app

need wechat to use cashless payment in china

get a new phone number to register.new acc on new device that diff than the one you have logged before and request you do ID

Do you have 2nd phone number?

If your old number still cannot log-in then no choice you have to register another new account with your 2nd phone number.

If you don't have 2nd phone number, just go any telco shop buy those cheap prepaid sim card number then can register new wechat account.

to prevent this issue in the future, add your family members into your contact and ask them verify you if this happens again.

but 100% will happen when you login from new device or long time no login

Don't worry. I live without wechat during my 8 days trip to guangzhou last month.

Our touch n go e-wallet is also an Alipay, it is widely accepted in China. We can scan their Alipay QR codes and they can scan our QR codes, even roadside small stall also no problem with our Touch n Go e-wallet.

You can ask me anything if you any question of cashless payment in China.

Any tried this?
