Is it technically difficult to change WeChat ID? Why has WeChat only allowed changing WeChat ID now?

WeChat has been around for nearly 10 years since its launch in 2011. At that time, WeChat accounts were given all kinds of names by those who were not familiar with WeChat. Behind many WeChat accounts, there are records of someone’s memory at a certain moment. Recently, the official finally allows you to decide whether to keep or discard this memory. Do you want to change your WeChat account full of stories?

First, let's talk about the history of WeChat. From version 1.0 to version 2.0, the development of these two versions of WeChat was unremarkable. Version 1.0 of WeChat mainly featured the ability to send text and pictures, and could replace the SMS and MMS of mobile operators for free. In the early days, WeChat's user activity was not high, and it was not even competitive compared to mobile QQ.

Originally, people only had a single line of connection on the Internet, but with WeChat's circle of friends, the relationship between people has become a more dense triangular network. Everyone has become an important node in this dense network. Such a network is of course more stable.

WeChat established its position as a mobile Internet giant after launching the stranger social networking function, and Moments is a function that permanently solidifies this position. The WeChat ecosystem has been completed at this time, and although other subsequent functions are also important, they are all based on the premise that WeChat has already established a firm foothold.

The official WeChat team announced on Weibo that the latest Android version of WeChat now supports the modification of WeChat IDs, and users can modify their WeChat IDs once a year. WeChat has not supported the modification of WeChat IDs until now. This Weibo post quickly sparked heated discussions among netizens. Let's take a look at how to modify WeChat IDs.

In fact, the method of modification is very simple. The entry for modifying WeChat ID is on the page of "Me" - "Personal Information" - "WeChat ID". Eligible users can modify their WeChat ID once a year. Android users have updated to the latest version of WeChat. The Apple client does not support modification for the time being, so friends using Android phones can experience it first.

Apple users can switch to Android devices to log in and modify their WeChat ID, but this may fail under special circumstances. You need to use your WeChat password when modifying your WeChat ID, and you must not forget it, otherwise you will have to wait another week to retrieve your password. If you find that you cannot modify your WeChat ID, you can try to log out and log in again.

I believe that after seeing the news that WeChat ID can be changed, users have immediately opened their phones and started to change to their favorite WeChat IDs. Because when they first registered, no one could have imagined that their WeChat ID would accompany them for so long and they still couldn't change it. The more than 110,000 comments under WeChat's official Weibo are filled with countless people's stories about WeChat IDs.

In the comment section, many netizens left their WeChat accounts that they registered when they were young and ignorant. The different meanings and types of WeChat accounts are indeed the memories of their youth. The stories composed of symbols, numbers and letters also resonated with netizens. They did not expect that WeChat accounts could trigger so many memories.

It can be said that WeChat has done something very gratifying this time, and it can also be said that it has won countless fans. The needs of many people using WeChat have been met, and they finally have the opportunity to correct it. There are many Internet services like WeChat that cannot change their IDs. In fact, there are many Internet giants like WeChat. I hope Taobao and JD.com can make changes.
