I noticed your wechat displays pinyin above the Chinese characters in messages. How can I enable this? Great video btw, very helpful indeed!
I am showing how it works on part2 at the end, there you fan find it czcams.com/video/1V04nZAqQb8/video.htmlsi=GGCBRosg9-XTSc0D
Thx for the informative video! Question: what do you mean by changing wechat ID? How should a simple and professional ID look like?
Anything that's not like the email address you created when you were 14 haha
Hi, very useful video as prep for our two weeks easter-vacation
Question: isnt the use of a VPN illegal. Doesn't the wechat App know, that there is VPN installed ?
Well it's a grey area, all foreigner I know never got in trouble for it. It's basically tolerated. Also companies, university's etc r using VPNs for their work. I have a link of a good1 I use myself in bid description
Super hilfreiches Video danke. Macht es Sinn, wenn ich ein zweites Handy mit nach China nehme, um mir eine Simkarte zu kaufen. Wir reisen nur als Tourist für drei Wochen durch China.
Ja viele machen es so, sie haben 2 Handys kaufen sann für eines eine lokale SIM und geben sich hotspot auf das andere Handy. Ich persönlich aber halte nichts davon, da ich keine Handtasche habe und egal wo ich bin habe ich meine lokale SIM im handy und gut. ABER ich habe auch Dual Sim Handy.
Excellent info. How does this work with Airalo eSIM ? My AliPay was setup using my US phone number - of course in China, only my Airalo will be active. Will the AliPay ever need to authorize using my US phone ?
Hello! Did it work?
Can u make a video about Wechat groups, Weibo or any other social group apps where you can discuss or find more info abt a particular subject Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestion, the issue would be tho that's all in Chinese then. Some WeChat groups are in English from foreigners for foreigners but the good ones are always full (500 max)
@@OlisBigPicture I guess there must be some translations app that allows for some kind of comprehension of these Chinese social groups where it's easy to exchange info and feedback on any subject . It would be good for someone to know ahead b4 arriving in China. It seems there's so many apps to handle Chinese characters, there must be some solution to allow at least a rudimentary level of comprehension.
@@bobmorane4926WeChat has a built-in translator and it works very well. Weibo International version also has a translator but the translation results are not good enough, so you may need other translation apps.
Ali; what's the transistor app,
What do you mean exactly?
Do you know of an app for when you've had one too many independent thoughts and the government is now looking for you?
Hi Sir, do I need to top up Alipay in order to use it.
For shared bikes, metro or taxi you need to link your alipay to a bank card
Can you recommend an app for finding an apartment?
Smartshanghai, wellcee and apartment seeking groups in WeChat for none Chinese speaker
how do you download baidu translate? Is it on app store?
Check out my part 2 at min 6, there I'll explain it: czcams.com/video/1V04nZAqQb8/video.htmlsi=NMXjjpMfyV8QhdS6
Ich versuche gerade die Apps für eine Chinareise einzurichten, aber mein WeChat sieht ganz anders aus als deins? hat dass Layout sich geändert oder liegt das daran dass ich in D bin?
WeChat sieht hier in China immer noch genau so aus, stell es auf Englisch um
12:35 VPN
The video has time stamps
i heard tantan is the most essential app
That's 18+ ;)
😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the tips and super helpful! I am traveling to China later this year.
1- How to add Transport on Alipay? I dont have it on my app.
2- Does Baidu map work offline? if not, how can I download Chinese-english language?
thanks in advance
Hey glad to hear it was helpful! 1. If Transport isn't shown, where u see inside alipay the icons of mini apps you should see a "more" as well, it should be there. 2. iphone with apple maps is English but there's so far no Android map in English except you can try maps.me it's offline and English accuracy not so sure tho.
@@OlisBigPicture cool. Got it for question 1! Sorry question no 2 should read “does Baidu translate app work offline? Do you recommend any other translation app that work offline? It’s a shame that Google translate doesn’t work in China as I heavily rely on it when travelling to non English speaker countries.
@@nasdanrose4802 hey, I don't use baidu translate therefore I don't know. However google translate offers offline translation, just download the needed language pairs in the app
What about 12306 for travel??
The train app? Yes can be used but never got it to work for me, because my account registration failed therefore wechat or trip.com with English Service and interface was the easiest choice
Can you use one phone(one QR code) to scan two or three people for metro rides?
Unfortunately not, everyone needs his own card / qr code = account
@@OlisBigPicture Thank you.
How can I find file transfer, when it's not listed in the chat screen?
You could just click on the magnifying glass sign on the top right corner and search "file transfer". Then you will find it in the top hits.
Also it should show up forst time you login on pc/mac with WeChat
Hello
i want to visit Beijing for tourism, pls suggest food delivery app & taxi app with English version.
Hello, for taxi app use "DIDI" if can't find the app in your AppStore use it in mini program in WeChat or alipay as I show in my app guide video. Major Food delivery apps are unfortunately all in Chinese.
@@OlisBigPicture what about "My China Taxi" app ??
@@rehansayyed8373 never heard of it, is it working and in English?
Hello Oli, can debit cards also be used to link on wechat pay? 🙏
Chinese yes, foreign so far not.
@@OlisBigPicture Thank you!
Pardon, I live in Beijing and I am able to link my US debit card in WeChat Pay (for what it's worth). It's actually easier than adding my bank cards in AliPay (seems to be linked more easily, I mean).
@@abbyabroadCredit or Debit cards from the US?
I was able to link my MasterCard Debit Card (C24 Bank). But I am not able to test WeChat Pay/ AliPay outside China
Can someone help to activate wechat
Try to find an asian restaurant or supermarket in your town maybe they are Chinese and can activate you
Ich versuche 😊
Can you please make a video on how to get a Chinese phone number?
Yes I'll do the in the future stay tuned!
