How to delete WeChat account permanently?

4 Comments / WeChat / By Silas

You may want to delete your WeChat account when you are not going to use it anymore.But, you may be wondering how do I delete my WeChat account permanently?Don’t be panic,I will show you in this guide step by step.

Why you should delete WeChat account?

There’re some reasons why you need to delete WeChat account. WeChat has bacame more and more popular these years. Many of you want to create WeChat and try to use WeChat. But, there’re some top reasons that will cause you leving WeChat.

NOTE: Do remember to delete WeChat account if you don’t want to use it anymore.

Reason One: Get bored on WeChat.

You will get bored if you don’t have any friend on WeChat. or you just have few friends and you don’t talk too much with them. In this case, you will get bored easily.  So you may uninstall WeChat app and not to use it anymore.

To be honest, I will uninstall the App too in this situation. The problem is you will be required to verify again if you didn’t log in to WeChat account for a long time. Or your accont will be blocked. You would not able to use that account.

Reason Two: WeChat has been blcoked again and again.

Many users told me that their account gets blocked agian and agian. Maybe your account get blocked for no reason. In this case, you should send feedback to WeChat support team. And then wait for a couple weeks.

But, most users just create a new account directly when their account gets blocked. The problem is their account could be blocked again because of unnormal registration. So, in this case, you should delete the old account and then try to create a new one. Otherwise, your new account could be blocked again and again.

Reason Three: The features is not working on WeChat.

There’re two most features may not working on WeChat. They’re Nearby and Shake features. As for why not working, that’s beause you use Nearby or Shake to send friends requests too much. And WeChat has detect your account’s unormal activity.

You need to stop using these features and wait for a couple weeks or months, then try to use again. If still failed to working. Then you should consider to delete this account and create a new one.

What you should do before deleting your WeChat account?

If you haven’t updated your WeChat for a long time then you need to update the WeChat to the latest version otherwise you won’t find the entrance of Account Cancellation.

There are something you need to know before requesting your WeChat account deletion.

  • Backup your data.
    Backup your data if you need it, such as Message History, Contacts, Contents Posted on Moments, Payment History ,and Favorites.
  • Let them know you’re not going to use WeChat.
    If there is someone you care about on your WeChat, you should let them know. I recommend you post a message that you‘re going to delete WeChat account on WeChat’s Moments.
    In order to contact them conveniently, you could ask for contact information on other platfom,such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Skype etc.
  • You should use your frequently-used device to request cancellation.
    If you’re on a new device then you need to use WeChat on your new device a couple of days or weeks,after then, you can try again.
  •  You need to wait at least 24 hours if you’ve attempted to log in WeChat failed more than 10 times.
  • Unlink your WeChat to third-party apps and websites.
  • You need to cancel your WeChat Pay, if you’ve activated it.

Follow these steps to delete WeChat account.

  1. Open your WeChat and tap [Me] in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

Tap [Account Cancellation] in the bottom of the screen

  1. Click [Request Cancellatioin] button. If your account meet the following requirements, then your will be deleted permanently.

NOTE: once you request cancellation, your account will never get back again. In other words, the cancellation is permanent, all data will be deleted and you can’t change anything to your WeChat account after cancellation.

Before your clicking that button, DO Check your account again.

Tap [request cancellation]

If you failed to delete your WeChat account, then you should do as the instructed and then try again.
After your cancellation you can not get your WeChat account back and you can not delete data that you forget to delete.
