Your WeChat ID (Identity) is unique to you. It is NOT your WeChat name, nor is it your WeChat password or your WeChat alias.
Your WeChat ID is independent of the mobile number that you link to your WeChat account. It also has nothing to do with the email or QQ account that you linked it to.
In China, your WeChat ID contains much information and is used in replacement of your Identity Card in many cities including Shenzhen.
When you first open your WeChat account, the company will assign you a computer code ID. You can easily change this computer to an ID that is easy for people to identify you and also easy for you to remember. For example, my WeChat ID is ‘AndyNgCoach’. What is yours?
Your WeChat ID can only be changed once
Some people, for various reasons, want to change their WeChat ID for a second time. This is not possible.
If you really want to change your WeChat ID, you have no choice but to delete your existing WeChat account.
Steps to delete your WeChat account:
a. Go to ‘Me’ page
b. Select Settings
c. Then Account Security
d. Next, select ‘WeChat Security Center’
e. Select ‘Account Cancellation’
WeChat will take 60 days to process your application to delete your WeChat account. Note that when you delete your WeChat account, all your contacts and chats inside there will be deleted permanently.
You cannot transfer your WeChat Contacts to your other WeChat account (if you happen to have one).
Note that to open another WeChat account, you need another mobile number that is not linked to any WeChat account.
For people that hate their existing changed WeChat ID and want to have a new one, they have no choice but to get another mobile SIM card and open another WeChat account. Then you have to manually add back the friends and re-join the group chats that you have in your first account. Once you have done these, you can proceed to apply to delete your first WeChat account that has the WeChat ID that you hate. Please keep this information for future reference. Thank you
