I have a WeChat.app on my MacOS machine and it has been working until yesterday. Now, when I attempt to open it, it shows the words "Scan to log in WeChat" and a curved arrow but not the QR code as expected. Please see the attached screenshot.

Open Wechat app on iOS. In the top right click the + then select "scan". Give camera access, then point your phone camera at the QR code on your Mac. It will make an uncomfortably loud chirp and then you will be logged in on your Mac.

Change an Official Account from one entity to another
Change from Personal Official Account (= Official Account registered with Chinese ID) to Business Official Account (= Official Account registered with Chinese business license)

I installed the all-in-one widget and input the wechat ID. When i click the wechat icon on the website chat bubble, i was directed to the wechat app (but a general interface of the app - not a direct chat window linked to the wechat ID i registered)

I have to say that our widget is basically an interface that connects your website to WeChat. So when you click Start Chat, you get redirected to the mobile or desktop WeChat messenger, and the chat takes place on WeChat side.

There is no error message - I was simply directed to the last page of where i was at on the wechat app (could be another chat window i opened with someone i was talking to earlier, or the full contact page) - just any last page i was on

I opened your link for wechat link generation but seems that every click i made on that website links be to weird bugged webpages not related to wechat. (all kinds of unsafe pages from sex videos to some bingo casino pages)

WeChat is a strong marketing tool for brands entering the Chinese market. In addition, each company has to decide if you want to open a Wechat service account as a foreign company or as a Chinese company. If you have a legal business entity in China, you should be allowed to apply for a Chinese account (check below).

Before you continue reading, make sure that you understand and consider these facts about Wechat official accounts that every non-Chinese business should know. The most important thing is to know that WeChat has a domestic and international app version. The Chinese version is called Wei Xin (微信) and the international version is called WeChat. The Chinese version is available for download on the Chinese app stores, while the international version is (logically) enabled on most app stores that are outside of Mainland China. Even if you download WeChat from a Hong Kong app store, you will find the international version. For that reason, the international WeChat version has much fewer users than the domestic version. WeChat has over 700 million monthly active users (MAU), but only 70 million of them use the international version of the app. Almost all Chinese users have WeiXin (or the Chinese version).

The registration process for a WeChat official account as a Chinese company is more complicated and entirely in Chinese. To open and operate a WeChat official account as a Chinese company, you need to present:

The registration process and the app version on which your account will be available depend on the origin of your company. The registration process for a WeChat official account as a foreign company is much easier and the platform is entirely in English. To open and operate a WeChat official account as a foreign company, you simply need to present to Tencent:

Tencent allows both companies and individuals to register Wechat official accounts. So as a next step, you need to specify whether you are a company, an individual, a media, a government body, or another type of public organization. Select 企业(Company) at the bottom.

And the last step of the process to register Wechat official account is to verify your business. Usually this is done by authenticating your bank account by Tencent. Currently, they are two ways to do so :

I believe ever since the latest (English) version of WeChat (Android), it seems not to stay connected very well in the background. I rarely get new messages unless I'm currently onscreen with WeChat. Any time I'm working on another app, or when the screen saver goes on, for more than, let say, 30 seconds, I almost never get new messages from friends. Indeed, when I switch back to the WeChat window, I usually see the pink warning bar up top that says, "Unable to access server", which then goes away in a few seconds, as the app then floods in with all the messages I've missed in the meantime.

Keep in mind that these operating systems close programs (not speacial background services) silently in the background if a newly opened program (or maybe all since then opened programs) require more free memory than your device has available.

These means that program updates, not only of Wechat but of all your daily used software, which increase the memory footprint can lead to a situation where you can not multitask on your device with the same programs in the same efficient way that might have been possible in the past.

@Mati1 i have a feeling wechat programmers themselves must have screwed something up in the english version, considering all the above other commenters reporting this being a recent development, and assuming all of us have different phones, setups and operating systems.

ya im getting the same problem too, and i tried to look for settings that might have triggered it, but the only thing i could find is the enable data in background thing, which has been enabled the whole time, i didnt even touch any settings recently, so its just the software itself that started doing it

the only thing that i can suggest tho, maybe we have this in common, is that i recently started using wechat desktop version, both at work and at home, at work cuz i dont wanna be seen texting on my phone all the time, if i do it on the computer, nobody suspects anything, lol, and at home because sometimes im playing a game on the phone, so i can text ppl on my desktop, and mostly, i type much faster on a keyboard than with my big ass thumbs...but anyway, i dont know if u guys have been doing that too, maybe that could be the reason? it doesnt make much sense if it is, but i really havent done anything else differently lately...

although, have any of u guys tried changing the app language to chinese? since u specified it was the english version of wechat that has this problem, maybe the chinese one doesnt? im gonna try it tomorrow and see if it helps

ya that i dont have...altho i do have the problem of not being able to download some videos properly, or not at all, either in group chat, or in moments, it just doesnt download, even tho i have super fast connection

and for unable to connect server thing, i tried everything, like changing system language to chinese, or not have windows wechat logged in, or using the home key to minimize it instead of the back key, or even just literally leaving it on, and lock the screen, but nothing works...after like 10 mins or so, i unlock my phone, it still takes like 2-3 seconds to load up all the new msgs...i mean not that i mind the 2-3 seconds, thats fine, but its a huge problem when its not notifying me new msgs!

Could be a missing permission. Android has become more conservative when it comes to battery usage and only special apps keep on running even when the phone has been put to sleep or another app is running in the foreground. My wife has the same problem on her S7 with the Chinese language version.

9 months of slogging through this wechat problem not being able to post updates which got worse and worse with every T-mobile update... Samsung fixit guys try flashing the phone a few hundred times and reinstall whatever they said was the newest versions, and reinstalling the app over and over and over again, but none of that worked. After, the latest tmobile update (today), wechat went from manually checking, to not checking at all even when I opened the app, saying it cannot connect to the network. So being super desperate, I tried a few things a bit unmethodologically which not only cured the wechat problem, but boosted the entire performance of my Edge s7 which I was just about to throw out because I was so frustrated with this problem. Since I was not rigorous in my troubleshooting documentation, I'm not sure if both of these steps are necessary, or if just one fixes it, so please feel free to try your own way:

2.) Disable Lookout, the built-in security app - amazingly, once I turned this off, my ENTIRE PHONE on all apps performed 300% faster. I'm not so sure how unsafe my phone is now, but I'm so much happier with a faster unprotected phone with all my wechat messages back on time, than a protected one that can't deliver my messages!

Since this morning, whenever I open and unlock my phone, it buzzes quickly upon unlock and opens the Wechat app, even though I have force closed it and cleared the cache. I have also restarted my phone and tried turning off notifications. Neither has changed the issue.
