Question

I try to install WeChat on a Samsung A13 by Google Play, but it fails, not compatible.

Any one tricks to manage it as well?

Answer

If you are having trouble installing WeChat on a Samsung A13 via Google Play due to compatibility issues, there are a few alternative methods and tips you can try to get it working:

First, understand that some devices or regions may restrict the official Google Play version, or your phone’s Android version may not match the app requirements.

Here are some options to resolve the issue:

Try updating your phone’s Android system to the latest available version to ensure compatibility with the current WeChat release.
Clear Google Play Store cache and data: Go to Settings → Apps → Google Play Store → Storage → Clear Cache & Clear Data. Then restart the store and search for WeChat again.
Change your Google Play region temporarily to a region where WeChat is supported. This may require a valid payment method from that country.
Download the WeChat APK directly from the official WeChat website. Make sure to enable installation from unknown sources in your phone settings. After downloading, install the APK manually.
Use a third-party app store such as APKPure or Aptoide, which often hosts compatible versions for devices that are restricted on Google Play.

Precautions:

Always download APKs from reputable sources to avoid malware.
Check that the APK version matches your phone’s Android version.
Be aware that manual installation may not support automatic updates through Google Play, so you may need to update the app manually in the future.

Following these steps usually resolves the compatibility issue and allows WeChat to run on devices like the Samsung A13, even if Google Play shows it as not compatible.
