That will remove your phone number from your WeChat account. Same process, unlink your current account then link your new one. This is where I get this message.

Until WeChat changes the wording on this window, users will be frustrated by it. Press the three vertical buttons on the top: You have to unlink your old number before you can link your new one.

Post navigation Hi, I just got myself a new mobile number but when i signed up for we chat account, it seems someone maybe the previous owner of the mobile number has linked the mobile number to her account. Is there another way to sign up using my mobile number in my case? The friend identification occurs when someone is trying to hack a WeChat account. They have the password but they are trying to log in from a different country, usually. Use an email address or QQ and start from scratch again. I can still access my account as per normal at this time. In other words, would i have to verify my identity via an SMS code to make this addition? It might be an obvious answer, but I just want to make sure in case I ever get locked out of the account.. That means that they can translate on their side. There are different versions of WeChat out there, some official and some not. Good luck and thanks for commenting. I live in China and my company shut off my mobile number. So the old number is not working anymore. I can still use wechat if I have WIFI. Only my old mobile number is linked to my wechat account. No email address is linked. Can I take over my wechat contacts to my newnumber? Can I link an email addres knowing that the old number is not working anymore? Why you need an email address linked to change your phone number? They send a message to your new number. When I change the number I have to do it in another mobile? Before you do anything, take the time to copy your contact list through screen captures or by writing each contact down individually. Try linking an email address. Once you start doing things like this however, WeChat may think that your account has been compromised. WeChat will not let you change the phone number of an account in the way you described. If it works as you suggest it does, then do it. Good luck and thanks for commenting. I could not link an email address. But I could change the phone number. Just push change phone number. Put in the new number and then save it. They send a verification code to the new phone number and put in the verification code and confirm it. Log in with the new phone number. Personnaly I find this a very weak point of wechat. Can I link now an email address to my wechat? In order to change your linked phone number, you have to be in the account, right? As far as we know, you cannot unlink a phone number unless you have an email account linked to the account. If you say you can, then the system has changed. I could indeed not unlink my phone number because my email was not linked, but it was possible to change the number directly without unlinking. That means choose the button change phone number. Put in the new number and save. They send a verification code to your new number. After filling in and saving and login again I had all my wechat accounts back to my new number. To unlink your phone number from your WeChat account, you must have have an email account linked to it. Make sure you have both linked to your account, email and phone number. Then you should be able to unlink your phone number. If you are not able to link your email account, make sure you have unlinked whatever email account is currently linked to it. Good luck and thanks for commenting. I cannot unlink my phone number as well. I was trying to create a 2nd account and this step requires me to enter a phone number for the verification code. So I unlinked my phone number from my 1st account which was successful and used it to create the 2nd account. Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this? The solution would be to get a new number for your first account. Good luck with this. Should I wait for 24hrs or anything else so that i could unlink my phone number? I really need to unlink my phone number i used to have my first wechat account and it is now unlink…and i am unable to unfreeze it…after that i have made a new second wechat account with my same number. And i successfully unlink it. For some security issues i have deleted my second account because theres an option on settings , my account to delete my wechat account…i understand it wont be reverse.. It says account may be compromised… I have link with email and got wechat ID. I just need to unlink my phone number. Maybe there is a limit to how many times you can link the same number to WeChat. Why not just get a new number? You can use one of the free phone apps that let you call anywhere for free. They come with a phone number. Use that for WeChat but keep your old phone number safe. I signed up to Wechat using a prepaid while overseas about 2 months ago. Just returned to US about 2 weeks ago and Wechat was working fine until 5 days ago. I forgot my PWD and did not link to any email when I first signed up. So I tried the SMS verification through my current US number. Well, I did get the SMS but when it also told me that my current US number is already registered. And when I did try signing up with the US number it replied with a Note saying something like….. As you know, phone numbers are recycled after a certain period of time. If someone previously had the same number as you have now, WeChat has no way of knowing that the number has changed. As for the un-official version of WeChat, were you using BlueStacks to access WeChat? The simplest solution for you would be to get your service provider to change your number. Good luck and thanks for commenting. Dear CMS, Appreciate your response. I downloaded Wechat through Blackberry World app that comes with my Blackberry Passport. All you can do is delete all of your contacts and chats then unlink your phone number and email, if you can. Then sign out and delete the app from your mobile device. You could also try to change the password before you leave the account, just in case someone else has a record of your old password. Good luck and thanks for commenting. I have a new phone number and had to change at wechat. I inserted new sim card and went to settings and change to my new number. I received SMS on my new number for verification code. On my account, I have wechat ID and new phone number. I can log in to my account by either my wechat ID or new phone number. How do I make sure that my old number is already unlinked to my wechat account? I will give my old sim card with my old number to my daughter and she will also need to change her number at wechat with my old number. You cannot link a new phone number to WeChat unless you have already unlinked your old number. If you go to Me then Settings then My Account then Phone, your new number should show. You cannot unlink a phone number unless you have an email account linked to your account. If you have an email account linked to your WeChat profile, you should be able to unlink your phone number unless that number is already linked to another WeChat account. It seems to be something to do with your phone. The N8 looks like an older model. Can you log in from any other device? Can your new phone access the same apps that your old one was able to access? Maybe there is a setting in the phone itself that is causing the problem. Good luck and thanks for commenting. I have a problem to link my phone number as the number is different. Through my account is my real number. When I want to change the number to link mobile the number is different. I tried to change mobile but the system are busy and please try again. What should I do? I cant upload my friends contact number. Please help me Sir, I have tried so many times using your step but still failure. The phone said the verification number will be sent through phone call and please wait. Until today I never receive any call regarding the verification number. Why the verification number not been given through sms? It is much more easier. So now I fed-up. I do not know what to do. I think better I logout or close my wechat forever. Check to see if any other methods are available to you. Usually there is a choice to receive verification another way. As you probably know, we are not affiliated with WeChat. We simply try to help people. Good luck and thanks for commenting. I would like to link my phone number to my WeChat account. I had initially set up another account to distinguish between business and personal and linked the number with that account. Afterwards, I unlinked the number in order to link it with the other account. This is where I get this message. I tried teh Security Center, but the account is not blocked. Any ideas how I can resolve this? It may be something as quirky as WeChat refusing to accept the same number that was used for another account. Make sure the unlinking worked and also make sure that you have an email linked to the other account. Maybe this has something to do with your removing the number thus leaving the account unsecured. Good luck and thanks for commenting. Is there a solution for this? It could be an ex looking to hack your account or a complete stranger. If you can access your current account, screencap all of your important contacts so you can add them to a new account. If you can be any more help, let us know. Thank you for your reply! Good luck with this and thanks for commenting. Can u help me? It about cannot log in wechat. I try to log in many time. But still cannot log in. I put the right wechat id. I just forgot the password. I follow the step. But still cannot log in. I follow the step. And never be oke. I never linked to my phone number. When i use email to reset. I really need to log in back. We are not WeChat. We just try to help people use the app. If you have forgotten your password, you can use your linked mobile phone number or your linked email address to receive a code. If you have not linked an email address or a mobile phone number, there is no way to retrieve your password. If your account was hacked, then someone knew the answer to your security questions. Regardless, unlink that QQ account and link a new one. All of these things you are trying are the same things a hacker would try, right? WeChat and QQ have a responsibility to their customers to protect their accounts. Good luck and thanks for commenting. I restored my phone to the factory mode and when I tried to get back to my WeChat account using the phone number I was given a brand new account. I tried to unconnect the phone number by adding an email address, but I never received the verification email to verify the address. So I tried a different email address, I was told it is linked to another account. Do you have any other suggestions on how I could retrieve my old account? I have the WeChat ID for the old account but no password. It looks to us as if your old WeChat account was not linked to your phone number. From our experience, you have to try several times to get a verification email. Check your junk folder, of course, and also your junk mail settings. Good luck and thanks for commenting. Thanks for the reply. I did try to get a new password by typing the WeChat ID and the email address. The new password did not work with the WeChat ID but did work with the email address, which leads to a brand new account. My old WeChat ID was not linked to a phone number or an email address. We were able to log in with our WeChat number and password, no problem. Again, thanks for commenting. If your old phone number was linked to your WeChat account then there is nothing you can do. You have to unlink a phone number before you can link a new one. Unless you can get your old number back, there is no way to recover your account, sorry. Maybe you can recover it by email. Hello, I had signed up a WeChat account with a China mobile number as I travelled to work in China regularly. My account was inactive for some period and got locked out. Now I want to re-activate it but the re-activation code will be sent to my China mobile number, which does not have international roaming services, and I will not be back to China so soon due to an injury. Is there another way to get my account reactivated? Appreciate any help here, thanks. I reinstalled WeChat on my new phone. I tried to login in with my QQ ID, after I entered my ID and password, it asks for 4 digits validation code. However, I never received a validation code either on my phone or my QQ email account. I requested to resend and still nothing. Any ideas how to obtain a validation code so I can get back to my WeChat account? Hello, I am using WeChat 6. Could you please tell me how to remove my work email address so other users do not see it? Can you see it from your profile or is this something that only your contacts can see? Have you added any helper apps to WeChat? The only way we can see our email is when we check the account protection section. Do you mean your WeChat profile inside the app or somewhere else? I cannot see it from my own WeChat account but I see this tab or link on some of my contacts profiles but not all. For example, one contact of mine has this link on their profile and their phone number is listed. For some reason, when viewed by my contacts, my profile has this link and my work email address is listed. Contacts who were added at some point in the past, however, do not see the social information tab and therefore do not see my email address. This leads me to believe that, at some point in the past, I did something to get my email address to show up in this way. We have never added any apps to our accounts nor have we given permissions to any social app, at least not permanently. You might have to back up your contacts, verify your phone number and new email then change your password. This will remove any apps that you might have forgotten about. Also, go back through your various social networking accounts, Linkedin for one, and remove any permissions that pertain to WeChat. Once you track it down, please let us know what the problem app was. I tried everything you suggested. Changed and verified my new email, changed password. I even revoked my phones access to that account. Curiously, resetting my phone to factory conditions removed all social media links from my contacts profiles but this info with my work email address is still showing up to others when they view my profile. Who knows what the Chinese are doing with WeChat? We have to put a stop to this!! The thing about social networking is this: Anything you do online can be seen by someone else. Facebook reminds us of that all the time. It may be something as simple as Linkedin. You put in your work email at some point along the line and suddenly WeChat is stealing your information? WeChat is a tool, nothing more. Lastly, you can copy out your contacts one by one or find some way of exporting your contact list via some file in your WeChat storage area. Once you do that, close your account and add your contacts to a new profile. Keep your work email out of it this time. Lots of work but it might be the only way. The path: Me, Settings, General, Features. On that page you will see two sets of features, enabled and disabled. Disable everything and see if your work email disappears. All of this is a two way street, right? Whatever you let WeChat access, you must also let that app access WeChat. As we found with LinkedIn, removing one side of the access does not remove the other. I do not have a Social Profiles and I do think it is turned on by another app interface to WC. Maybe that is where Pete finds the old email listed from his friends POV. Also WeChat ID and Name can optionally display to the right of the profile picture depending on the settings of the contact. Could you please tell me how to remove my work email address so other users do not see it? First, do you have an email account linked to your WeChat account at the moment? If you do, you have to unlink the current one before you can link a new one. Unlink first, then link something else. Your settings will tell you if you have a phone number or email account linked already. You can open an account using your QQ id but there is no way that we know of to link the two. Try it and good luck! You have to unlink your phone number from the new account. You can only do that by linking an email account with your new profile. Only then can you unlink your phone number. Once your phone number is unlinked from your new WeChat profile, you should be able to link it to your old WeChat account. Yes, we write about WeChat frequently. TenCent is a huge company with millions of users with QQ and WeChat plus the other things they do. One glitch that affects some people is not that important to them. The product is free. Free is good if the product works. My bro register a wechat using my new phone number. I want to unlink the phone number from his wechat but it says that I should link the email address. Ive tried so many times to link the email but it says , unable to send verification because the email has been linked with other wechat id. But i just make a new email and it says like that. What should i do to. I wanna cryyy It would make sense to ask your brother, right? Maybe there is an email address already linked to the account. Go to Me, then Settings, then see if you account is verified. Is there an email address shown? Make sure you are typing everything correctly. Make sure you have WiFi access or 3G, of course. If you do, you have to unlink the old one first. If we could, we might be able to find a solution. If you get it to work, let us know. Hi my name is shaggy am from india.. I hv so many imp contacts r thr in wechat.. If someone hacked into your account, they could steal it by changing the linked phone number, right? WeChat does not require you to verify your account but once you do, you have to have two verified links before you can change one that you have verified previously. The shorter version of this explanation is to simply link an email account to WeChat. Once that is done you can unlink your phone number then link your new one. Let us know if you have any further problems. I have been log out n loss my wechat password. I had linked my wechat with phone number, now I moved to different country with new phone number. How can I log myself in again? I send email to the support team but no response, hope u can help!!!! Unless you can receive the verification SMS from WeChat, there is nothing you can do. How does WeChat know that you are you? You have to sort out the email problem before you can unlink your phone number. Check your junk mail folder for the email from WeChat. You tell WeChat what your email is, they send you a link in an email, you click on it and your account is verified. Very easy and fast. Do it again and check your junk folder. Good luck and thanks for commenting! As long as you use the right email, it should send. Did you register with WeChat directly? What did you use to register? A phone number or an email address?

Sent an email to support the first day, no response yet. In this case you would link your email address. Once you have two links to WeChat, then you can change one of them. So, make sure your phone number is verified. It will tell you in your settings. If you have linked your phone number, you have to link your email address before you can unlink that phone number. Once you have two links verified, go to your phone number Settings, My Account then press on your phone number. Up on the top right, look for the three dots. That will remove your phone number from your WeChat account. Good luck and thanks for commenting. When you go to the Settings screen, then My Account you should see your current phone number. Press on the phone number then look for the three dots up on the top right. You can only do this if you have an email account verified with WeChat. Once you have unlinked your phone number, you can relink your new one. Try again and good luck!
