Some Indian users said they were forced to quit using WeChat and were unable to log back in.

However, the affected wechat accounts are registered with a local phone number in India, and will not be affected if registered with a Chinese phone number.

When the account is logged out, WeChat prompts: "under Indian law, we cannot offer WeChat services to you at this time.We value every user, and data security and privacy are Paramount to us.We are in contact with the authorities and hope to be able to resume services in the future."
