• Avoid downloading modified version of WeChat from unofficial channels. Recently, many Trojan implantation incidents were found.
• Android system needs to be enabled in advance "Allow application installation from unknown sources"
• If there is continuous failure, it is recommended to record the error code and contact the official customer service.
If the above method still cannot be solved, it may be a carrier network limitation (such as campus network), and you can try to use a VPN to switch the network environment. This problem will usually automatically recover within 24-48 hours, and it is recommended to download staggered peaks.
