Why Did WeChat Block Indian Phone Numbers?
In 2020, the Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps, including WeChat (Weixin), citing national security concerns. As a result:
✅ New Indian numbers can no longer register on WeChat.
✅ Existing users may face login issues if they reset their phones or reinstall the app.
✅ WeChat Pay and other services may stop working for Indian accounts.
This ban has made it difficult for Indians who rely on WeChat for business, communication, or payments.
What Can You Do If Your Need To Use WeChat ?
If you need WeChat for work, friends, or payments, here are 3 possible solutions:
1. Use a Non-Indian Number (Cheap but troublesome)
- Get a mobile phone number from your relatives or friends that has not registered WeChat（free）or from virtuel operator($1-$5,likeGoogle Voice,TextNow,e.g.)
- Register with the non-Indian number.You can read more details in this article：https://help.wechat.com/cgi-bin/micromsg-bin/oshelpcenter

Please make sure to confirm with the customer service that the number can be used to register WeChat. (More than 70% of virtual numbers cannot be used to register WeChat)
