There's also a link with Facebook option, likewise only settable on the phone.

We are US-based, we don't have Chinese phone numbers at all and there's no way we are going to be going over there until the quarantine requirement is dropped--that's probably going to be a while. For her WeChat is about talking with people in China, mostly her sisters.

My one prior attempt with the WeChat team produced no response at all. Do they not speak English? (She's not at all technical, this sort of thing is always my job.)
I don't know. I would assume they use their own "translate" function because it works well, but I've always messaged them using Chinese because my questions aren't challenging and I wanted to completely eliminate the language variable.

Chinese phone numbers won't really help you until you make your next trip, but WeChat Pay is kind of useful.
