Don’t Receive Messages on People Nearby

If you’re not receiving messages from people nearby on WeChat, there could be several reasons for this issue:

1. Location Services:

• Ensure that location services are enabled for WeChat on your device. WeChat uses location services to detect nearby users. Go to your device’s settings, find the location services or GPS settings, and make sure they are turned on for WeChat.

2. Privacy Settings:

• Check your WeChat privacy settings to ensure that you haven’t disabled the “People Nearby” feature or set restrictions on who can message you. Open WeChat, go to “Me” > “Settings” > “Privacy” > “People Nearby” and adjust the settings as needed.

3. Network Connectivity:

• Make sure you have a stable internet connection. WeChat requires an active internet connection to receive messages, including those from people nearby. If your internet connection is unstable or weak, it may affect message delivery.

4. Location Accuracy:

• Ensure that your device’s location accuracy is enabled and set to high. Inaccurate location information may prevent WeChat from detecting nearby users correctly. Go to your device’s location settings and adjust the accuracy settings if necessary.

5. Distance Limitations:

• Keep in mind that the “People Nearby” feature on WeChat has distance limitations. You may only receive messages from users who are within a certain proximity to your location. If there are no users nearby or if they are outside the distance limit, you may not receive messages from them.

6. Update WeChat:

• Make sure you have the latest version of the WeChat app installed on your device. Developers often release updates to fix bugs and improve performance. Updating to the latest version may resolve any issues related to the “People Nearby” feature.

7. Restart WeChat:

• Sometimes, restarting the WeChat app can resolve temporary glitches or issues. Close the app completely and then reopen it to see if the problem persists.

8. Contact WeChat Support:

• If you’ve tried the above steps and are still experiencing issues with not receiving messages from people nearby, you may need to contact WeChat support for further assistance. They can provide more specific troubleshooting steps based on your device and situation.

By following these steps and ensuring that your device’s settings are configured correctly, you should be able to resolve the issue of not receiving messages from people nearby on WeChat.
