New iPad can’t start “WeChat”!

> When the installation came a sub-step telling me to input my account name and password. I inputted my Apple ID and password, it says: “This user does not exist” !!!

Have you created a new WeChat account or sign in to WeChat with your Facebook ID?

> Now the nice icon of WeChat--green ground with 2-white-boy- is already on my iPad home screen,

Sounds like WeChat app has been installed successfully.

> but it always stop at “log in with account name and password”!!

You know that you have to sign in to WeChat servers with your WeChat account/ID before you can use it, right?

I suspect that the WeChat app needs you to CREATE a userid and password - just for this app. Do not use your Applid and password.

It appears dilbert is correct. Go to the link below and establish a Wechat account..

It turns out my link above to register is for the WeChat Forum. I registered and asked about registering for WeChat from a iPad or is it necessary to have a iPhone too. I'll post back if I get a reply.

Only if you're a hardcore Apple fans. No, you only need a phone with texting enabled. I was a WeChat user (but not anymore) and I didn't even have a smartphone when I created an account. They'll send you a verification code by text message. You'll need it to create a WeChat user account.

How to login to Wechat using Facebook account:

It's an Android smartphone but probably the same for WeChat for IOS. Btw, I never signed in using FB account.

Thank you. Shame WeChat can't say that when you download the app.

Btw, I stopped using WeChat over a year ago. They may have changed their policy now. As far as I can remember, I got a verification code by text message to activate my new account. I don't know if there are other ways to get the verification code (by email, for example).

I'm pretty sure you're correct. It seems so simple to put a "New User ? Register here.". button I wonder why they don't.

There is a "Sign up" button right below Log In on that youtube video I posted earlier. The video shows Android version of WeChat. I'm assuming iOS version is the same. Here it is again: https://youtu.be/bWsLFl5EbRM?t=19s

Here's what I get.

Start here. Tap Use iPad only.

Fill in your email address here.

Get this.

Delete app. 🙂

Tried my Facebook account with no luck. If you tap Use in phone or iPad you get the screenshot below.
