Unknown Callers

The Wechat call doesn’t work while the “CallKit” function removed, all WeChat call being listed on “Unknown Callers” of iPhone with their name & profile picture, how can it be fixed?

★★★★★Oct 9, 2026
Can’t log in

I don’t know how to reactivate it, and don’t understand the instructions, so having used it once to connect with friends i no longer seem to be able to use it

Xiaowei AI Added Without Consent or Opt-Out

Very concerning privacy practice WeChat has suddenly introduced and started testing the Xiaowei AI feature on my account without asking for my consent or giving me a meaningful choice to opt in. Even more concerning, there appears to be no option to disable or opt out of this feature. As a UK user, I find this particularly concerning from a privacy and transparency perspective. An AI feature should not simply be enabled for testing on users without clearly explaining what data it can access, how that data is processed, whether any conversations are analysed, and providing users with a straightforward way to opt out. Please provide a clear option to completely disable Xiaowei AI and be transparent with users before enrolling their accounts in AI experiments or testing.

WeChat uses your chat records to train AI

It’s disgusting that you can’t opt out their AI tool in your own chat with people, training the AI by collecting photos, conversations with no consent, blatant privacy and security breach. App Store should be alerted
