Immediately after signup, without doing even a single thing, the account got locked. And to unlock the account, it says an existing WeChat "friend" had to help me. I don't have any yet, because it locked me out without doing anything. One of the most annoying onboarding experience ever. Reached out to support and they don't respond either.

Terrible software. Why add annoying ads to the chat software and can't be turned off permanently? This brings a very bad user experience. The ads everywhere make it feel like an ad delivery software rather than a chat software. The storage usage is amazing. The worst software I have ever used. I really want to give it 0 points. It's too bad for this software.

Absolute garbage of an app. It's slow and the UI looks like 10 years ago. Some messages don't go through and most of the features are broken. The confimation code texts and calls never arrive. Recovering account is impossibly difficult. If Chinese peopel didn't worship this app, I would never use it and don't understand how unbelievably broken it is.
