If your account has been blocked, it may be due to the following reasons:
1.Downloaded WeChat from unofficial channels.
2.Using an Android emulator (such as Bluestack, Andy, Youwave) or other non-official plugins to run WeChat.
3.Previously sending content related to lewd material, violent content, scams, inappropriate rumors, or false advertisements.
4.Using a virtual phone number to register your account, such as from Skype In, Google's Project Fi, Google Voice, Nexmo, etc. It is recommended to switch to a fixed phone number service. Try registering again using a different mobile number that is not provided by a virtual phone service. 

There are two types of account blocks, each with different solutions:
Temporarily blocked: Follow the instructions on the login page and submit an appeal accordingly. If you are unable to unblock your account, refer to this link for assistance.
Permanently blocked: If your account has been permanently blocked due to a violation of the WECHAT TERMS OF SERVICE, no unblocking options are available. However, for users with remaining funds or assets in WeChat Pay, log in access will be provided solely for the purpose of withdrawing those funds, while all other features will remain restricted. The only way to resume using WeChat is to register a new account and ensure full compliance with the WECHAT TERMS OF SERVICE.

In certain regions, in order to protect underage minors, it is required by regulators to obtain consent from a parent or legal guardian before underage minors can use WeChat. In these cases, payment card verification is used to verify the parent or legal guardian's consent for their child to use WeChat. WeChat supports most payment card types including VISA, Mastercard, UnionPay, American Express, Discover, JCB, and more. When verifying a payment card, you may incur a temporary charge up to 1 EUR (or equivalent value in your currency) which will be refunded upon verification. Additionally, your payment card data is safely and securely transmitted to our third-party European payment processor Adyen and your payment card data will not be bound to your account nor stored on WeChat's servers.

At WeChat, user privacy and data protection are our top priorities. WeChat considers user privacy and data protection not just our company's responsibility, but also a key part of our users' experience.

WeChat securely encrypts your sent and received messages between our servers and your device to help prevent unauthorized third parties from intercepting your messages as they are being delivered over the internet. WeChat uses industry-standard encryption practices and technologies, including specifically the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256, to protect the security and confidentiality of data during transit and at rest. The AES algorithm was and remains approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to encrypt U.S. federal sensitive (unclassified) information. AES-256 uses 256 bits to encrypt data and is currently the maximum available under the AES algorithm (as compared to AES-128 and AES-192).

To better maintain the privacy of your messages, it's important to make sure that you follow some safety tips. Read more about how to best secure your WeChat account on all of your devices.

We do not permanently retain the content of any messages on our servers whether they are text, audio or rich media files such as photos, videos, or documents, unless you or your recipient saves them as a Favorite, or it is a message the administrator of your group chat added as a Group Notice. Once 72 hours has lapsed since you sent your chat message, or 120 hours for images, audio, videos, and files, WeChat permanently deletes the content of the message on our servers. You may at any time remove any message content from Favorites and it will be deleted from our servers. Upon deletion, neither WeChat nor any and third party will be able to view the content of your message. 

When you long-press a message and select Translate, the message may be translated via a third-party translation service provider. Our service providers are required to provide the same or equal protection of user data as stated in the WeChat Privacy Policy and are prohibited from retaining, using, or disclosing your information except as necessary to provide services to us.

WeChat also does not use the content of chat messages for analytical purposes or data mining.
