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.
