Weibo 

App Overview

Weibo is a social networking app that provides access to Sina Weibo, one of China's leading social media platforms. It features trending searches, celebrity updates, news, and user posts covering entertainment, music, sports, travel, fashion, and other popular topics. Users can follow public figures, read updates from different accounts, and participate in discussions about subjects attracting attention across Chinese social media.

The app combines content browsing with social networking features. Users can publish updates containing text, photos, GIFs, videos, and emojis, as well as interact with other posts through likes, comments, and reposts.

Officially authorized by Weibo and powered by Weico, the International Edition offers an alternative way to access the platform. It also supports registration with eligible phone numbers from countries and regions outside mainland China.

    I’m from Bangladesh, and our country doesn't have a country code. I hope they will add one soon so that everyone can use it globally and connect with anyone. Additionally, there are no language settings to switch to English. I would suggest the author develop that feature.

    Tried to make a new account, but couldn't because the SMS verification wouldn't come through. Hopefully they fix it soon because they could have more users. On June 3, the registration started working for phone verification. Still can't change my username or gender. On June 15, editing seems to be fine now.

    An error message shows up when you try to register, saying you've requested the verification code too many times, even though you haven't. I encountered this error even on my first attempt to sign up. They should either resolve this issue or provide an alternative way to sign up using an email address. I will provide an update if the problem gets fixed. Disappointing.

    You're welcome for fixing the bug. I hadn't logged in for months, so my account got unfrozen on the browser first. After that, I managed to log in on both the desktop and app. My suggestion is for everyone else to try logging in on the desktop browser first and verify it before using the app. It was a bit of a hassle, but it worked.

    I can't create an account. When I enter my phone number, it shows that the client version is outdated. There's no update for the app, so that doesn't seem to be the issue.

    I've been using it for almost 2 months and I love it because I get to see the latest updates about my favorite Chinese celebrities every day. But now, when I try to open the app, it asks me to verify my account again. When I try to do that, it says I can't log in. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, but I still can't log in. This is actually the second time I'm facing this issue with my Weibo account. Can you help me fix it?
