Ratings and Reviews
Frozen account
My account has been frozen for over a week now. I tried following the steps to unfreeze the account but it fails every time at the facial recognition step. And then the app just rejects my application to unfreeze my account. There is no report this or contact support. What do I do?
Proper frustration.
Boy where do I start!? What is this “Find a friend who signed up for WeChat at least 6 months ago?” What? No legit, what? Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, WE DONT KNOW ANYONE WHO HAS ONE. Have you ever considered that my friends and I could sign up for the app on the same day? I can’t be driving around town asking people to verify me bro, it shouldn’t be this difficult IT. IS. JUST. AN. APP. One star is just because 0 isn’t an option. The app is pointless, tiring and basically unusable when you’re new. This thing is supposed to be a feature that is should be required on a second login, or a login on a different device, not the first time, what happens to people who literally know no one and just love being by themselves? I could go on really, I don’t even want the developer to fix it it’s not worth it we move, dang.
Poor security outcomes
App Security screens out honest users, unable to recover my account so I have deleted the app. If you are going to put security measures in place make sure it does not screen out the honest users and retain the crooks. I have lost trust in this application. Make sure the app is fit for purpose before making it available. Security should be outcomes based. BTW this app has such a limited following in South Africa that asking another user to verify your account is never going to work if almost nobody has heard of it. Poor design and disappointing. Perhaps venture out of your fish tank into the real world if you are designing effective security measures. You may be surprised that you will never gain markets hare with such a poorly thought out security policy, good luck with that. I will stick with WhatsApp as at least many people over here use it.
