Are you planning to play Valorant Mobile? Are you wondering how to create a WeChat account in India for Valorant Mobile access?
Valorant Mobile is a rage among mobile gamers due to its fast-paced gameplay. However, playing Valorant Mobile in India using a WeChat account is not only difficult but also carries security risks.
WeChat is banned in India, and therefore, the app is not available on the Play Store or App Store in India.
If you are planning on creating a WeChat account from India, it will require assistance from an existing user in a supported region for verification.
Also, as the Valorant Mobile beta is restricted to Chinese servers, you need to use a VPN set to a Chinese server while playing. This will cause issues while playing due to unstable connections.
However, if you are still planning to proceed, follow the steps to create a WeChat Account in India for Valorant Mobile.
As WeChat is not available in India, do try to download the WeChat APK file from a trusted third-party source.
- Open the WeChat app.
- Tap on the Sign Up via Mobile tab.
- Enter your name, phone number, and a password.
- Agree to the terms and conditions.
- Complete a captcha.
- Next, you will need to complete account verification.
Now this is a tricky part, as you may be prompted to have an existing WeChat user scan a QR code on your screen within a short time limit. The said person must meet the criteria set to scan a QR code on their screen. Some may receive an SMS code for simpler verification; however, this is quite a rare feat.
How to Access Valorant Mobile
Post securing a verified WeChat account, access Valorant Mobile.

If VPN isn’t optimised for Chinese servers, you will face issues while playing.
Given the significant challenges, please wait for a potential official release of Valorant Mobile in India, instead of accessing it through a banned application.
