How do I add WeChat friends?
To add friends on WeChat, follow these steps:
- Search by WeChat ID or Phone Number:
- Open the WeChat app on your device.
- Tap on the “+” icon or go to the “Contacts” tab.
- Tap on “Add Contacts” or “Add Friends”.
- You can search for friends by their WeChat ID or phone number.
- Scan QR Code:
- If your friend is nearby, they can open their WeChat app, go to “Me” > “QR Code”, and show their QR code to you.
- In your WeChat app, tap on the “+” icon, select “Scan QR Code”, and scan their QR code.
- Add from Address Book:
- WeChat can synchronize with your phone’s address book. If your friend’s number is saved in your phone contacts and they have linked it to their WeChat account, they will automatically appear under “Mobile Contacts” in WeChat.
- Go to “Contacts” > “Add Contacts” > “Mobile Contacts”, and WeChat will list contacts from your address book who are on WeChat.
- Join Groups:
- If you’re in a group chat and want to add someone from that group to your friends list, tap on their profile within the group chat and select “Add to Contacts”.
- Accepting Friend Requests:
- If someone adds you as a friend, you will receive a notification. Tap on the notification or go to “Chats” > “Messages” to accept or reject the request.
- Official Accounts:
- You can also add official accounts by searching for their WeChat ID or scanning their QR code. Official accounts include brands, celebrities, and service providers.
WeChat is quite versatile for adding friends, whether through direct search, scanning QR codes, or syncing with your phone contacts.
