Did WeChat block your account for some reason, and now you want to unblock it without any verification from a friend but don’t know the process to do so?
In this article, we’ll explore 3 step-by-step methods to help get this done in the right way. We’ll also dig into some reasons why the platform blocks your account.
How can I unblock my WeChat account without friends?
Access the WeChat Help Center
If you think WeChat has mistakenly blocked your account, you can submit an unblock appeal to its support team via the Help Center to reaccess it without a friend.
To do this, carefully follow these step instructions on the platform.
WeChat App:
- Open the “WeChat” app.
- Tap “Login.”
- Select “More Options” (at the bottom-left of the login page on the app).
- Select “Help Center.”
- Tap “How Do I Unblock My Account.”
- Scroll and choose “Tap Here.”
- Choose “Tap Here” again.
- Select your platform (i.e., the device on which you are using WeChat)
- Choose the region and category according to the problem you are facing.
- Type in all the important details of your issue in the “Description” box.
- Enter your account name (WeChat ID) and email.
- Tap “Submit.”
WeChat Web:
- Open a browser.
- Go to “WeChat Help Center.”
- Click “How Do I Unblock My Account?”
- Choose “Tap Here” (text highlighted as green).
- Click “Tap Here” again.
- Choose your platform (i.e., the device on which you are using WeChat) from the drop-down menu.
- Choose your region and the category of the problem (i.e., Others).
- Type in all the details of your issue in the “Description” box.
- Enter your WeChat account ID and email.
- Select the preferred contact method.
- Click “Submit.”
The WeChat support team may reach out to you after reviewing your account and, hopefully, unblock it for you without the need of a friend.
NOTE: You have to submit the appeal to unblock your WeChat account within 14 days. Otherwise, the support team won’t assist you in the matter, and you may need to sign up for a new account.
Submit an Appeal on the WeChat Account Recovery Page
You can also submit an unblock appeal to the WeChat team through its Account Recovery web page to recover your account without a friend. Here’s how:
- Go to the WeChat Account Recovery website.
- Select the ID type from the drop-down menu (WeChat ID, phone number, email, or QQ ID).
- Select your country (next to the “Send Verification Code To” option).
- Type in your phone number.
- Enter the “CAPTCHA Characters.”
- Click/tap “Send Verification Code.”
- Enter the verification code (from your phone).
- Choose “Unable to Login” (from the categories).
- Select “Account Blocked.”
- Provide the details for the account block.
- Upload any screenshots that you may have of the account block.
Now, select the contact methods and click “Submit” to file your appeal.
NOTE: If you’ve seriously violated the WeChat terms of service, it will permanently restrict you from accessing your account and won’t unblock it no matter what you do. But, the platform will only open the Assets Entrance for the fund in your account.
Contact WeChat Support Team Directly
You can contact the WeChat support team via phone call at “+86 0755 83765566” to request them to unblock your account without friend verification. Make sure you call during the official hours (9:00 am-10:00 pm from Monday to Sunday).
Another way to unblock your WeChat account is to reach out to their support team through official social media accounts, like Facebook or X (Twitter).
To do this, search for the WeChat Support page on Facebook or X and tap/click the “Message” option to send them a message.
Do provide all the nitty-gritty details of the issue to the support team. They may help you unblock your account without the need for verification through another WeChat user (particularly a Chinese friend).
Why is my WeChat account suddenly blocked?
- You are using an unofficial app (MOD APK) or unsanctioned plugins to run WeChat.
- You have installed the WeChat Desktop client through an Android Emulator like BlueStacks or YouWave.
- WeChat has detected suspicious activities on your account.
- Someone has reported your WeChat account for sharing lewd or inappropriate content, ads, scams, or violent materials.
- You’ve created your WeChat account using a virtual phone number rather than a fixed one.
