How do I add friends on WeChat?
Adding friends on WeChat can be accomplished through several simple methods. The most common way is by using the "Contacts" tab within the WeChat app. Once you are on this tab, you will notice an option to add friends. You can choose to add friends by their WeChat ID, phone number, or by scanning their QR code.
To scan a QR code, tap on the "Scan" option, which is usually available in the home screen or main menu. After scanning the code, you will be directed to their profile, where you can send a friend request.
Another method is to use the "People Nearby" feature, which shows WeChat users who are in your vicinity. You can send a friend request to any of these individuals. Additionally, you may also share your own QR code with others so they can easily add you as a contact.
If you would like further information or guidance, it is advisable to look for resources on the official WeChat website or app to ensure you have the most current instructions.
