This is a great video. I like it very much.

[@LTLChinese]

Thank you very much!

[@СтепанСмирнов-п4д]

Thanks for this. Gave me a motivation to install and try )

[@LTLChinese]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@aijuansong4587]

What a great video! Thank you so much for sharing all the tips... Just what I need❤

[@LTLChinese]

So happy to hear it :)

[@vasilikikourgiozou2142]

Thanks for the video really useful. Can’t seem to get English for the miniapps even though I downloaded the English version. Any tips?

[@LTLChinese]

That is quite unusual as English version does have English. We suggest to check the app settings and maybe you need to find language preferences to change it to English.

[@caur310]

Rail & flights in my app is in Chinese, how can i change this to English? fyi i installed wechat outside china and it is in english

[@chungtuyettrinh]

Can we use We Chat for riding metro, bus in China?

[@LTLChinese]

You can :)

[@kellydeshane3929]

Hello I have the same questions as the person below: so for the mini app specifically for hotel booking, it all in Chinese. It does not translate. I downloaded in in English. Any advise on how to get the mini hotel selection to be in English.?

[@LTLChinese]

Sadly the mini apps do look like they are in Chinese at the moment.

[@michaeldanilov9026]

Can i send a reicve money ? Witout bank acount ? I have suppliers in china need to give me money and than i want to use this money to buy from other supplier no need to withdraw only recive and send is possible?

[@LTLChinese]

Our team actually tried this on Alipay and it worked, so you should be able to transfer money using your Alipay accounts (without having a Chinese bank). This is not a guarantee, sometimes it may work, others not.

[@Sybell2024]

Yes. I've had it since 2019

[@LTLChinese]

It is indeed amazing isn't it?

[@serendipity9904]

Hi, is it possible to link a Debit Card and use it on the wechat pay, or we can only use a Credit Card?

[@LTLChinese]

Debit card should also work just fine but as mentioned in the video it is very case to case based. Some international banks might have restrictions when it comes to debit cards so please check with your bank first. Good luck =)

[@serendipity9904]

[@gavinkost]

I have downloaded WeChat but I don't seem to have the services button? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@LTLChinese]

That's a new one! Have you verified your account?

[@designqq8905]

Since there is a closing date / billing cycle on your credit card, how does one manage to pay the balance while you are still in China for longer than a month. Does one use VPN to log on your bank account from China? Could this be done?

[@LTLChinese]

As long as your credit/debit card is saved on the app, it will automatically deduct its fees.

[@designqq8905]

@@LTLChinese I have another question. Unless you have a Chinese sim card, your wechat won't be working because there is no wifi on a taxi, how do you pay for the taxi with your wechat?

[@LTLChinese]

In that very tight scenario, trying to use cash can help. It might occue that the driver might not be too happy about it but its definitely worth a try@@designqq8905

[@UncleRay360]

Hi, can I use Wise card to link bank card. It was not mentioned in this video but in the Alipay video it was mentioned that Wise card can be use as link bank card for Alipay.

[@LTLChinese]

Wise card can be linked to Alipay but on WeChat I am not too confident about it. However, we haven't tried it yet so maybe it does work. Please let us know if Wise card can be used with WeChat pay

[@wassimriahi8994]

Hello, did you try your wise card ? thank you

[@motto666]

I live outside of China, can I use wechat to communicate with the chinese that are living in China? Do they need a vpn in China? I know the local chinese use weixin and wechat is like an international version for foreigners, but does it require a vpn to be used in China?

[@LTLChinese]

Yes you can use Wechat normally without a VPN.

[@clarissa8589]

Hi newbie here, i had wechat for a long time (the english vers) if i go to china will it work the same? (With and without the vpn)

[@LTLChinese]

It should work without any glitches. At most, an update will fix any problems you might have.

[@Sportsmanf]

Care to make one that targets those of us who haven't been to China or never familiar with WeChat just saying you might get a larger following for those of us are interested in that kind of stuff food for thought

[@LTLChinese]

The video should help complete newbies to Wechat/China. Anything specific you want to know more about? The more detail you give, the more we can help :)

[@Sportsmanf]

@@LTLChinese yeah everything from the floor up I mean I've got signed up but really have no idea how to access anything now that I'm in there I just now realized that I have a QR code in the United States QR codes are mainly used for connection to websites or advertisements but not people I didn't even know I had one till I just found it but any information on the basics would be great how to get to the different areas to sign up basically any suggestions or help on how to navigate the app would be a major accomplishment for somebody who's never done it before I see all the stuff you talk about but I don't know how to get to it I ain't seen it since I've been on it I've been on two or three times matter of fact I got a couple we'll call them friends or business relationships whatever in China that I've got on WeChat I chat with but everything else is still a possibility in my eyes the same as it was in the WeChat creator's eyes when he first started on it no clue

[@mikecarthy-p1y]

Just set up wepay and friend authorised it. When I go into me there is no services listed to add payments. Any ideas

[@LTLChinese]

Have you tried to make a payment using the QR code?

[@soniacarew6023]

I live in Namibia, and I use WeChat to link up with Chinese suppliers and cargo companies for my import business.

[@LTLChinese]

Great, well done :)

[@Sportsmanf]

The reason I downloaded it exactly

[@tonyramuhuyu6162]

Hi Sonia What do you sell in Namibia? I’m from South Africa

[@soniacarew6023]

@@tonyramuhuyu6162 Hi! I consider myself 50% South African, my late mother was South African. Still have family there. I sell clothes, shoes, hair products, solar energy garden lights, diet products, and other household items. But clothes and shoes are my best sellers.

[@khadeejakamran1988]

Tiktok is actv in china?

[@spaceinvader384]

@ 5:02 One crucial point: You don't tell us if we need to go online in China to pay with bundled foreign credit cards (AliPay or WeChat bundled no problem)? My logic is: no data, no internet, no connection unless those apps get us thru automatically. I know eSIM can go outside China (social media as well) but not 100% sure about banking & how fast the data is chewed up (it's on roaming). Anybody? Otherwise, I might just buy a local physical SIM at the China airport SIM counter, get them to install then go online to pay for the SIM right there. If OK then all good. Remember no money no go. But opt for money or social media? Your call. (local SIM might need a VPN to go outside China for social media).

[@LTLChinese]

Thank you for the comment but you do not need to be in China to link your WePay with your credit/debit cards. Hope this helps

[@LykosThreeEyes]

Is it normal that I get black screens in live streams for windows version? I don't know how to fix this

[@LTLChinese]

To be quite honest this is the first time we have gotten this issue, quite weird. Maybe a quick reboot or update might help?

[@LykosThreeEyes]

@@LTLChinese I tried both but none of them seems to work, I was trying to watch the live streams from hello street cat, some of them are a black screen, others seem to work but there you can swap between 3 cameras but for some reason I can't

[@tetchy7404]

hi brother, is it trusted to place my ID Passport on wechat? i have been asking this question to many friends who use wechat, but no one has their ID verified.

[@LTLChinese]

Yes you can verify with passport.

[@JeremyDeBose]

I’d love if Apple’s App Clips would finally take off. Feels like it would be like the mini apps. If they didn’t have all the other Big Tech companies trying to block them, I think Apple’s ecosystem would become our version of WeChat.

[@LTLChinese]

Never know...

[@davebee70]

I'm trying to send my friend a money transfer, I have a foreign bank card linked (uk) but can't seem to find a way via wechat or Alipay to send a personal transfer. Is there any way i can do this? Ty

[@LTLChinese]

Hi Dave, thank you for the question. Sorry but as of now we do not know a way to get around that. It is a bit of a hassle

Don't money launder! UK and USA watching you buddy! CIA analyst...

[@taron8475]

Is it safe to download?

[@LTLChinese]

Yes of course

[@minesharon6613]

Please new here how can I pay suppliers on wechat.. but I don't have passport

[@LTLChinese]

You'll need to get their QR code to send a payment.

[@KHGAMING2003]

Boss I am speaking from Bangladesh I have a wechat account Yes, but the number is Chinese, I want to add a Bangladeshi number, how can I do it, please make a video of it😢

[@LTLChinese]

Just change the number linked to your account in SETTINGS

[@mwngt12]

Hi, first-time user here. Please I have a question: I found out that I can change my WeChat ID from the randomly generated one, but it says I should not put my own name in the ID, which goes differently than in other services like Linkedin, X or Facebook. It also mentions not to include other personal details in the ID, which is totally understandable, but why not include my own name? Can't I put any part of my name or initials in there? is there a reason why this is not recommended? could this lead to any concerns or issues, such as identity theft? I couldn't find an answer to this point anywhere, please advise. Thanks!

[@LTLChinese]

Your ID can be anything. Maybe best to avoid your full name exactly, but if you wanted to do something like JohnS123456 this is fine. It's more just safety advice from WeChat.

[@Capsius]

Thanks for the helpful video. I don't have a local China bank account, is it possible to be able to pay someone to transfer CNY to Wechat account so I can use it to buy things from street vendors, small shops etc. in China? I shall be visiting Xiamen, Anhui, Zhuanzhou in late Oct for a week. I have just downloaded WeChat but have yet to set up the account.

[@Capsius]

Thinking of this as a backup option in case linking my non China bank account may not work when it comes to payment.

[@LTLChinese]

Yes this is a great hack. If you know someone in China, get them to send you money via Wechat and you can pay them via cash or bank account.

[@LTLChinese]

Solid backup plan and one we'd recommend :)@@Capsius

[@Capsius]

@@LTLChinese Thanks a million! I shall be visiting China late Oct, in just about a month from now. One night in Anxi county, 2 nights in a remote village in the mountains (Zhengkheng village), then over to Quanzhou for a night and finally 3 nights in Xiamen.

[@LTLChinese]

So cool! Enjoy@@Capsius

[@Ballsyone]

So it only co-locates all apps under one shortcut icon.

[@LTLChinese]

The mini apps are pooled together to make it convenient :)

[@mdshamimkhan9992]

this video interesting well how do I find out and add China real WeChat trusted buying buyer or scan buying please give me the tick

[@LTLChinese]

You can add a WeChat account by scanning their barcode :)

[@Sportsmanf]

My comment would be what if we're not the $700 million that live in China and we're not familiar with what's up why don't you teach us how to use it to contact somebody in China just saying

[@LTLChinese]

The video is targeted for travelers, tourists and students coming to China.

[@alexgaming4208]

Nobody want to verify my account

[@nomadhedge]

This is basically what X is going to become.

Time will tell...
