Wechat Verification

If you are using WeChat for the first time, follow the in-app instructions and ignore the below. 

Replacing your existing personal number for Simcrypted is easy, and you can keep all of your chat history.

Step-by-step guide

N.B depending on your device, there may be slight variations to the below:

1. Important: before you verify your new Simcrypted plan on WeChat please make sure you have added a forwarding number in your Simcrypted dashboard — you need this to receive your WeChat verification code.
2. Now open WeChat on your device.
3. Head to “Me” then “Settings.”
4. Then head to “Account Security” and then “Phone”
5. Press “Change Mobile”
6. Here you can input your new Simcypted number and press “verify.”
7. WeChat will send you an SMS code to complete the verification – which should be automatically recognised without needing to type manually.

N.b. This is sometimes device-dependent and depends on permissions, so you may need to type manually if it doesn’t automatically input for you.

Important note: If you do not immediately receive an SMS from WeChat, wait for the “call me” option and select.

That’s it! You now have total anonymity on WeChat.
