I really appreciate the extra tips you included. So helpful!

Creating a WeChat account traditionally requires scanning a QR code for verification. However, if you don't have a QR code or if you're having trouble with this step, there are alternative ways to set up your account. Here's how you can create a WeChat account without needing to scan a QR code in 2025.

🔹 Step 1: Download and Install the WeChat App 📲
Download WeChat from your App Store (for iOS) or Google Play Store (for Android).
Once the app is downloaded, open it and tap on the "Sign Up" button to start creating your account.
🔹 Step 2: Register with Your Phone Number 📞
Select Your Country: First, you'll need to choose your country or region to get the correct country code for your phone number.
Enter Your Phone Number: Type in your phone number and tap "Next". WeChat will send you a verification code via SMS.
Enter the Verification Code: After receiving the code, enter it into the app to verify your phone number.
🔹 Step 3: Complete Your Profile (No QR Code Needed) 📋
Set Up Your Username: Create a unique WeChat ID (username). This can be used to find and add people to your account.
Add Profile Information: You'll be prompted to add your name, profile picture, and any other details you'd like to include.
Skip QR Code Scan: If you're not prompted to scan a QR code immediately or if the QR code step is optional, simply proceed to the next steps to complete your profile.
🔹 Step 4: Verify Your Account (Alternative Methods) ✅
In some cases, you may need to verify your identity to fully activate your WeChat account. Here are the methods available if you can't use a QR code for verification:

Option 1: Use a WeChat Friend for Verification
Ask a Friend: If you don't have a QR code for verification, WeChat allows you to use a contact in your phone's WeChat list to verify your account.
Send Request: If the app prompts you to scan a QR code, you can tap the option to ask a WeChat friend to help verify you by confirming your account.
Option 2: Email or ID Verification
Some users may be asked to upload a photo of their ID or use email verification in order to bypass the QR code verification. This is typically used as a backup method if the usual QR code scan doesn't work.
🔹 Step 5: Start Using WeChat ✨
Once you've completed the registration process and verified your account (without the need for a QR code), you can begin using WeChat to:

Send messages
Make video calls
Join groups
Connect with suppliers, friends, or business contacts
🚀 Final Tips:
Ensure a Valid Phone Number: Having a valid phone number that can receive SMS is crucial for verification. If you don't have access to your phone number, you may need to look into alternative verification methods, such as email or a friend's assistance.
Use a QR Code Later: If you skip the QR code verification at sign-up, you can still use WeChat without issues. The QR code scan is often only required if you want to link new devices or verify your identity further later.
Security: WeChat is widely used for transactions and communication. Make sure to use a strong password and set up Two-Factor Authentication for added security.
By following these steps, you can successfully create and use a WeChat account without the need for a QR code. Enjoy connecting with friends, suppliers, and businesses globally!
