WeChat

[alexforyou]

Hello fellow punters

Just had a question in my mind..

Have seen a lot of ads here with WeChat IDs..I haven't used WeChat at all till date.

I am planning to install it on my phone..Can somebody tell me how does it work..?

If we add somebody would the other person be able to see my mobile number?

Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks in advance

Hi mate I just took it off my phone, I was down the pub watching the footy yesterday afternoon at half time I had a look on wechat. After about 15 mins my wife rang me she's Vietnamese, apparently a few of her friends saw I was on wechat and they told her I was looking for women wtf . I don't need any dramas maybe some of the brothers no how to put it into stealth mode.

How did they recognise you? Did they see your number or is your wechat account under a different name or nickname?

I don't have WeChat installed but I remember how it works is like whatsapp where it's linked to your phone number and when you add numbers to your phone be it massage or fs places it gets added to your friends list...
So I would suppose if u look at someone's activities and friends list u may see that they have 'special friends'

I signed up a while ago, and I got contacts from people who had my phone number.

I dont think that other people can see your contacts and only mutual friends can see other peoples contacts on your posts. Likewise if you comment on someone elses post - only mutual friends of that person can see your comments.

Doesn't it have a facility in your settings where you can stop any automatic adding of friends?

[alexforyou]

Thanks friends..

Would be better off not installing WeChat...just to be on a safer side..

Don't want any future dramas as well.

I dont think it does. Wechat sees your contacts and asks you who to add.....it is done in the initial set up. You can go into settings and re-sync or unlink your mobile to Wechat....which they say is less secure.....

[cuteguy]

It sounds like it's better to keep them separate.

It's OK if you are single or not in any relationships, otherwise, stay well clear of any of these social media shits.

Good luck

Cheers

Most of the shops and agencies are moving over to wechat and posting photos of their girls there rather than here.

wechat is good and you can use it stealth mode super easy . easiest way to get updated on rosters etc

You can turn off " Find me by my phone number " then your friend can't see you, and don't post on Moments.

Or simply get a $2 sim for a spare phone (everyone should have a spare phone lying around given most people upgrade their phones every year or 2) and load up we chat on that and use that phone purely for fun activities!

If you have a steady partner, wife etc it is always better to be careful and never use your primary device for these things. I'm currently single again but I still keep a separate phone for this purpose.

Just my 2 cents

Fine to use an old phone , just make sure you delete ALL your contacts there before signing up !!

[Starfire]

I would rather not bother. Too much work to manage a second phone and unless u had a legit work reason to maintain one too many questions asked about that second phone hahaha

Just Simply press + on right top corner then insert someone's ID or Scan Code.
Also go Discover to turn on people nearby to find someone to hook up with

Clearly haven't been reading the other thread on wechat.

That won't matter as you'll be using a different sim anyway
