I am having great difficulty downloading the Chinese Wechat program onto my Android smartphone (currently using Android Lollipop 5.0). Google play store is a no-go (I imagine owing to their ongoing dispute..) usually resulting in an incompatibility issue and if I do it via a 3rd party site, I manage to download it but then it fails to open. Please help

Best to avoid Chinese programs due to the malware dangers.

I just downloaded it 3 days ago on my samsung galaxy using the google playstore.

"Best to avoid Chinese programs due to the malware dangers."

You are right 500 millions users on wechat are all idiots and stupid.

Please go scream wolf somewhere else.

^ What he said.

I used it a while ago without issue. Would likely have been a slightly older version.

I mostly suggest Chinese people I need to chat with to get LINE.
