If your profile information is incorrect, you can log in to WeChat and correct your information by going to the Me tab, and tapping your user alias or headshot at the top of the screen. This will take you to the "My Profile" screen where you can edit your name and change your profile photo, gender, region, "What's Up" description, and any linked social media accounts. At the current time, in order to ensure the safety of our account system, it is not possible to change your WeChat ID after it has been set once.

Profile information is available to other users if they are able to search or view your profile. You can control who is able to search, view, or add your WeChat account by going to the Me > Settings > Privacy and selecting Methods for Friending Me. For instance, if you disable WeChat ID, users will no longer be able to find your profile when searching your WeChat ID. By disabling Phone, users will not be able to search your account by mobile number nor will your account appear in "New Friend" recommendations if they have your phone number saved in their contact list.
