Edgar Cervantes / Android AuthorityTL;DR WeChat has temporarily halted new user sign-ups in mainland China. The messaging giant has no choice if it wants to comply with local privacy laws. The move reflects a larger crackdown on Chinese tech companies. Don’t be shocked if you can’t sign up for WeChat in China — you’ve been intentionally locked out. This won’t matter if you use WeChat outside of China or already have an account.
