Is WeChat down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with WeChat right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check WeChat continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are messages not sending, can't log in, checkout or payment, can't connect, can't post or comment, no notifications, chat not working and lag or disconnects. Those are the options the report button offers for WeChat, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With WeChat specifically, WeChat's regional routing and server affinity means connection failures, message queuing, and payment processing can fail for specific regions or carrier networks while other users see no issues. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For WeChat, try sending a text message to a contact and check if it shows as delivered within 10 seconds, then attempt a payment transaction in the wallet. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on WeChat's side. Specifically: do not repeatedly retry payments, as each attempt queues and may process multiple times when service recovers, causing duplicate charges. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. WeChat does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe wechat.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what WeChat says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to WeChat or wechat.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need WeChat's own support, not us.
