Can you get WeChat?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Tried making a WeChat account, but my account was immediately temporarily banned likely because my phone is rooted and I downloaded the app from the Aurora Store. Oops. I guess if I want to use WeChat at some point, I will need to get a separate phone.

Just tried that but apparently WeChat needs me to "verify" myself by entering my credit card info. hell nah
