QQ Reviews

by Passby Methyl

Because the ONLY way to make an account is by phone number, and I was told that my phone number isn’t secured, I have try multiple ways—included download other this app apps to make an account—to make an account. However, after doing all this useless actions, I finally find out I cannot make an account is because the this app app ONLY SUPPORT CHINESE mobile phone USER!!! What’s the point give so many countries mobile phone prefix at beginning? To give example to the Human Confusion Behavior Encyclopedia? I mean literally! If not support foreign users, show it not by saying “phone number isn’t secure”, it’s not like a big deal we can’t use this app app! But it’s frustrating when I puts effort into finding a solution to the problem, and I was told I’m not right or wrong, it’s just I shouldn’t be here at the first place.
Please show this on the this app app or the Official Website. This functionality problem shouldn’t exist.

When I first downloaded QQ , I thought I was able to register. But when I first input my phone number, it won’t let me through and it keeps saying to “try again tomorrow” or something like that. Even after I waited for the next day or even many days later to try registering again, it still didn’t work! I don’t know if the company or whatever blocked my number or not to prevent me from registering, but please reply back when problem is fixed :( I really want to register :((

QQ is only for people who have Chinese phone numbers. I’ve tried 4 different phone numbers （US#）and kept getting the message: “检测到你的手机号码存在不安全情况，所以目前无法成功注册。请更换手机号码或明天再试。”
Unless you get a number from someone in CHINA, you’ll not be able to register with this app. This is not a problem, if Tencent didn’t pretend QQ was for the international users.

I had a this app number registered 7 years ago for sharing files with local partner. The account was frozen yesterday for “Violating rules by sending improper messages”, a vague description without proper proofs. It was ridiculous that the account sends nothing more than business documents. Recovering the account requires a Chinese phone number, a CHINESE ID and FACE RECOGNITION. It was just insane how the censorship and surveillance operates.
Switch to alternatives ASAP, especially if you don‘t have Chinese local to help you out. Contacts made on this app are so prone to surprising bans, even you did literally nothing . The recovery approach, requiring real-ID and biological data (not Face ID) acquired by Tencent rendered QQ a highly censored and untrustworthy trap by authorities.

Tried to sign up for an account on my laptop, the webpage told me to download QQ on my phone. Downloaded and tried again. It said my US number is unsecured and couldn’t register for a new account. But guess what? I have a China phone number, so I tried again! But then it asks for a user verification, which requires a current user of this app to help verify your identity. This is a barrier to most people, but not me because I could ask my sister - but GUESS WHAT?? My sister’s account could not help me verify because it’s not linked to a bank account. But this is a social media - if she’s not paying for anything like a normal person why would she have her bank account linked??? IM SO DONE that this company keeps asking for more personal information and trying so hard to invade privacy.

So I moved from China to us and my phone number changed. Every time I log in it will ask for my password sent to my phone. I filled out a ton of my info to request my password back but the petition didn’t went through??? So I was redirect to another web asking me to fill more info in which I finally run into a step that only accept Chinese phone number after all this. I went back and googled this app but they claimed they accept all international numbers as the security phone number. Lol. So I guess don’t use the chat app unless you are physically in China. Otherwise you will run into many issues and the solution they provide won’t lead you to any result.

Think about, when you are in a conference room listening presentations, with your iphone muted, locked, everyone is quite. Then all of sudden your phone starts playing some ridiculous music very loudly and it seems lasted ‘forever’ coz only 10 sec is already embarrassing to death. Your heart is beating so fast and your face turns red, and you frantically fetch your phone trying to cover it for reducing the noise, and everybody is looking at you like you are a dumb jerk. Behold the this app! It plays music from time to time without your permission. What a vicious app! Ban it! I would give 0 if i had option to do so.

I tried too many times to make it work, i had an account and they deleted it cuz i didnt use it for a while it seems.... and now I’m stuck trying to make another. On the online site it keeps saying server busy...it’s been days...I doubt it’s still busy.
I also tried the mobile one. It tells me to send a message. I edited the “1” message and even tried just sending “1.” I can read Chinese...this is ridiculous.

by ThisAppIsStupidAndDumb

I’ve used the “old” a before and it was way better than THIS absolute garbage, I thought I could just download QQ and login. Sounds simple right? But it isn’t. First I opened this and it let create an account, and the ONLY option is to put ur phone number, and I did. I have not EVER used this phone number on QQ before, guess what? It says “invalid phone number and try again tomorrow or try to switch a phone number” now THATS stupid. Who have that much phone numbers?? So I went back and retried this process and the SAME happened again. Very frustrating, I would highly recommend WeChat instead.

First, I am Asian. The purpose for me to download this app is to chat my old friends. But the thing is. I highly doubt if this is the real this app. I had used this app before. I am extremely disappointed after checking out QQ. I know the old this app. I first created an account.(it took me days to) after I logged in. Then few hours after. It somehow quit my login. Then I tried to log in again but my password wouldn’t work. I tried to create another password. It will never work. In conclusion, I highly doubt if this is real. Like I said. I am very very very disappointed seeing QQ turning out like this after I left asia.

I saw a video where you could get access to play Fortnite in China. It had a tutorial where you could sign up on this app to get on tencent we game. It’s just been a pain to get an account and still haven’t made an account yet. The this app international app doesn’t even work and redirects me to QQ. Every time I put in my number with the +1 number (which was hard to find) it just gives me an exclamation mark with a bunch of Chinese jibberish that I can’t understand. Please fix QQ and make an English version as soon as possible.

by MrFreeze2

App which is available on Apples App Store doesn’t allow account set up for USA based phone numbers. Tried several times and received this message.

“Registration failed due to the detection of your mobile phone number (registration behavior) is insecure, so it is currently unable to successfully register. Please try to change your phone number or try again tomorrow.”

It even ask you to change your Phone number, How can you do that? Your Phone Number is Your Phone Number.

by EZ0000

Downloaded it. Tried to use my cellphone number to register an account. It kept telling me my cellphone number is not safe. I do not know why. What is the criteria to judge if a phone number is safe or not? I tried to used my husband’s phone. Same results. The phone number is not safe. Then what is the point to have QQ in QQ Store? People who does not have an account before can never get registration done, because it will tell you your cell phone number is not safe for registration. What a joke.

Can you all make a button so I am not completely lost and I can switch it to English. Just so it can toggle to English and translate whatever I type to Chinese or vise verse. A gaming friend told me to download it so I can communicate with them. I really don’t even know how I made it on your app but I have a profile. So I guess a small win for me but now I’m lost.

by Plutothecollie

My this app account was hacked twice in the past three month. Although I’ve associated my phone number even ID card with my account, the hackers can still change the linked phone number to theirs and are able to change the password. It takes a huge effort to get your password back since you can no longer use your phone to verify. There is no hotline support or complain center for such issue. I highly doubt if Tencent has a function-able security team.
腾讯安全中心太垃圾了，我三个月账号密码被改两次，那我绑定手机有什么用呢？

I Don’t speak, write or read Chinese.
I mainly use QQ to communicate with my fiancé living in mainland China.
I have a lot of fun fumbling through QQ and discovering what does what.
With a little help from my fiancé.
QQ is very intuitive and after using it for a few days you’ll pretty much understand it operating features.
It is very entertaining and gives a glimpse into the Chinese social scene and what interests a few million Chinese.
You will also enjoy seeing American influences in Chinese culture as well.
QQ is very visually based with photos and video so you won’t get bored.
I also greatly enjoy the chat enhancements this app provides the user. You can greatly enhance the interface. Plus, there are many social features that are used way before American social apps decided to borrow them.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Would be 5☆s if this app had an English toggle switch.

by ALISAa.

I moved to America a few years ago but I can still use this app to call and text my Chinese friends for free. 😜
There are a lot of fun actives going on in QQ.😆
LOVE IT😍
But I DONT recommend QQ to foreigners🙃
if you are a foreigner, I recommend you to download WECHAT instead of this app;)

Since I'm a student, I mainly use this app to keep in touch with my classmates and friends. It's pretty fun to use some of the tools in this app(eg. make friends with other people, favorite photos, ask questions, etc.). But there're also a few drawbacks for QQ. Since you can easily find people using this app number, others can find me by accident and ask for permission to be my this app friend. However, QQ is convenient if you want to make friends from all over the world. In my opinion,It's still a good app.I'm looking forward to meeting different people!

Literally trying to trash this annoying app now

by KTR66

First of all, I declare that using this software is a last resort. In China, quite a lot of foreign content has been blocked and can only be forced to use Chinese "domestic" software. If you are fortunate enough to have the rest, then as a Chinese citizen, I would like to provide a piece of advice here: Don't touch Chinese products. Software or hardware, you never know what traps are hidden behind them! ! !

Recently, these updated versions, it takes about a minute to open the group to appear in the group list! This bug has been around for a long time, why don't you fix it!
The more difficult it is, the more difficult it is to use the slower and more abnormal. What happened to Tencent’s employees?

by Gabe.Pcr

first of all I think QQ is a spyware. Secondly a lot of Chinese people in QQ talks bad about all the countries around the world and think everyone is bad people, but you’re not allowed to talk about their country or their politics without getting censored or them calling you a racist, how hypocrite and double standard is that? very biased very discriminating racist country. they allow child pornography and porn in the group chat but they don’t allow you to send a Winnie the Pooh picture that makes no sense.

by Possedoffs

QQ is so bad that I would have given zero star if possible.

I only downloaded this because I was using another app made by tencent and they reinforce the verification process with this app.

They have bug literally around setting up password. They would not allow you to set up your own password if you don’t provide them with personal information in the name of security. The worst app ever. Then after you verify your information, they would just not recognize your this app number and password combo. Then you rest your password, thinking I might type it wrong at the first place, but they wouldn’t allow you to because you cannot use the same password that you used the recently that was not recognized.

by Pandanele_07

Since I live in the United States, I don't have a phone number from China. Whenever I tried to use my number to create an account, it said that my phone number is harmful to QQ and I should change one or try again tomorrow. This happened like every time I tried. I even re-downloaded it but it still didn't work...

by KatsukiS

I get the idea that you are promoting these useless new features. I'd be okay if you do a pop up occasionally. But turning the annoying thing on at top of friends list and hiding the option of turning it off deeply in settings is disgusting. The PM for this feature really needs to write a post mortem for it.
