Ratings and Reviews
Keep showing loading
After I updated the latest version (8.0.5) of WeChat then every times I open the apps it keep showing loading, I thought is my internet issue so I try to open Facebook and Instagram but all those apps was nothing wrong.. I don’t know whether you guys did solve the bug or not but I’m still having this kind of experience...
When my friend texted me I just keep waiting and waiting until the loading icon showed “WeChat” ..
Blocked account
My account was blocked yesterday saying that I have violated the platform rules for example involving in malicious marketing, harassment or fraud but the thing is I was only using the app for communication. I have asked at least 5 of the people that I know who weren’t my WeChat friends to help me to settle this issue. However all of them met the same problem which is saying that they do not meet the requirements to help a friend log in or it says that they also have unusual activity in their app. This is a serious malfunction in your system. In 2018, I have met the same problem also and it was about the same reason of why my account was blocked. Therefore I have a few questions to ask your team and hoping for a proper reply:
1) How does your team processes the system and blocks someone account?
2) If you’re going to block someone’s account, do you have any proof that proves that I have used my account and to be involved in such activities ?
3) Why does my account got blocked for all of a sudden giving me such weird reasons that says I used the app to be involved in such activities ?
4) How does your team choose to block a user’s account ? Is it because someone reported the account or it’s just your system having problem and being unlucky to meet up with this malfunction in the system?
Communist style heavy handed user service, poor user experience
I used it for many years. It was fine when it was fine . But Then out of the blue, it block me, there is no transparency on the reasons beyond generic bureaucratic phrases. Want me to go through unfreeze process which was a mess because of many petty bugs in their system or process. Wasting many of my friends precious times in the process without success. Then I try to talk to the customer service, there is no number to call just some buggy forms to fill. The major bug being that it does not accept English names thus I can’t submit the form, so they will serve only Chinese citizens? The whole process and they way they handle the situation is heavy handed and has little sensitivity to user, customer experience, as if one single user is of little value to their business. My experience with Alipay is much better over the years, one simple call and problems solved. but unfortunately their chat tools is not popular. Hope some new Chinese app which is more consistent with international standards will replace WeChat soon.
