Tencent’s WeChat suspends new user registration

Tencent’s WeChat said on Tuesday it is temporarily suspending registration of new users in China as it works to comply with “relevant laws and regulations,” the latest Chinese firm to face regulatory scrutiny in the world’s largest internet market.
 

In a social media post, Tencent said it is “upgrading” its security technology to align with all relevant laws and regulations and while this process in underway “registration of new Weixin (WeChat’s Chinese app) personal and official accounts has been temporarily suspended.”
 

“Registration services will be restored after the upgrade is complete, which is expected in early August,” said WeChat, which has amassed over 1.2 billion monthly active users in China as of earlier this year.
 

It’s not immediately clear which law WeChat is citing in its announcement but the move comes amid a broad crackdown on tech firms by Chinese regulators. The crackdown has wiped billions of dollars in market cap for Chinese firms in recent weeks and many high-profile global investors including SoftBank are impacted by it.
 

This is the first time WeChat, which operates as a super app in China, has had to take a step of this kind in more than a decade. In addition to offering a messaging service, Weixin also allows users to make online payments and access a range of financial services.
 

突然!微信暂停了新用户的注册

7月27日,有网友发现,目前微信个人账号的新用户注册入口已经关闭,所有用户均无法再通过微信手机端注册新的微信个人号账号,即使更换手机也同样不能注册。
 

在点击注册、发送短信验证后收到提示:系统技术升级中,请稍后注册。
 

对此,微信官方回应称:依据相关法律法规,我们对微信APP进行安全技术升级,在升级期间将暂停微信个人账户和公众账户新用户注册。
 

预计将在8月初完成升级后,重新开放新用户注册入口,请大家耐心等待,感谢关注!
