WeChat not working after iOS 16 update

Thank you for the tip. It worked when I did this:

(1) Off load the WeChat app from setting->iPhone storage->WeChat . Not the custom content. It didn’t work when I reinstall the app in the same window.

(2) Go to App Store and download WeChat app.

(3) Login to your account.

It worked for me.

iPad Pro WeChat not working after iOS 16 update fix and this work around is off load the WeChat from setting.

~>Settings~>General~>ipad Storage~>Wechat~>Offload App~>(select)Offload App~>Reinstall App (after Offload App action had done)

it work for me.

IOS16.1 UPDATE Wechat Not Working, or "Network Unavailable" Message

Hi After Updating to IOS 16.1 I found that several Apps (Chinese) were having difficulty connecting to the Network. This was most evident with Wechat reporting a Network Unavailable message.

The issue, in my case, was related to my VPN Apps trying to automatically connect to the Network and failing to do so. This kept switching the VPN toggle on and off.

After deleting the VPN Apps Wechat (and Alipay) started working again, which is particularly relevant to payment and health code systems.

This may not solve the original Poster's question, but I asked the same question and this has turned out to be the answer to my issue.

Press the, "Gear Wheel" Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage... Scroll Down to: WeChat -> Offload App, or Delete App

Apple dose not care what an app experiences. The current work around is off load the WeChat from setting->iPhone storage->WeChat . Not the custom content. Then reinstall the WeChat. It works for me.

Contact Wechat for help with their software as the message instructs you to.

How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

Contact WeChat for your issues with their software.

The problem is that the app developer hasn't updated their code to work with iOS 16. It is the developers responsibility to fix it.

I encountered the exact same issue. Restarted several times and cleared all cache. Not working. Only after updating to iOS 16

Thanks Peng, that extra step of redownloading from the App Store was indeed the trick, would not work through the same window for me either. Thanks!

Figured it out. It is in Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage

Isn't the app already tested on the beta version already? And there is not update available yet.

Brand new 13 pro max. Updated to ios16 and then moved over contents of 11 pro. When i start up WeChat, i get a black screen. That's it. Will try wechat support and report back.
