Rednote asking for resident ID card ID number (but I’m American)

Hi!! After creating my Rednote account I was able to comment and post and like videos but now I’m unable to comment and post. I’m shown a page that says “there is a security risk in the account” when I try to post/comment. To verify my info I am taken to a page called “personal real name authentication” and then there are fields for me to enter my resident ID card information, specifically my name and real ID number. I am confused because I don’t believe I ever gave a ID number when I signed up so I’m not sure what ID number to put. I am American btw. Any ideas?

Same thing happening to me. One creator on tik tok said it’s a glitch since so many people joined so I am waiting to see if it will be resolved or should I delete my account and try again.

Wait for Rednote to respond. This is really bad for Americans.

I had this happen to me yesterday! Today I downloaded the newest update for the app, and just saw ~20 min ago that instead of 2 options, they now have 4, and one of them is "foreign passport" where you provide your passport information. I'm going to wait a little until there is more English language information about it!

I'm having the same issue. I finally received my verification code and was able to bind my mobile number and create a password, and somehow I got logged out. Now, it's asking for a phone number, my real name, AND an ID number to log back in, and I was never given an ID number.

Is it really worth it for you to give away your personal information just to use a social app?

Well, don’t give anyone your ID (sincere advice from Chinese)

Red note

Isnt is kinda beautiful to see how Americans and the Chinese are getting along. It’s the most connected we’ve ever been with each other and most users are accepting us. Granted, we will have to limit brain rot and post high quality content, but it’s nice to a lot of us getting along

I didn't even use tiktok, and this app is awesome and has a great community,Coming from YouTube shorts.

Chinese and Americans have never been closer to each other until now. This app is really wholesome tbh and the fact its free of brainrot too

Error adding phone number to the new account

Hello, everyone. I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but if it isn’t, I will delete the post. Well, in 2024, I created an account on RedNote and linked it to my phone number. I later switched devices and didn’t reinstall the app until late 2025. I couldn’t remember my password, so I created a new account. Now, I would like to link my phone number to this new account. However, when I enter the verification code I receive, the app states that the number is already linked to another account and asks me to type a specific phrase: "I confirm that you no longer need to log in to this account to change the binding." I’ve tried typing it exactly as shown, but it’s never accepted. I’m not sure what exactly it wants me to enter, as I’ve typed the phrase precisely, yet it never works. If anyone could help me, I would be very grateful. P.S.: English is not my first language, and Mandarin is not my second language either (I am still a beginner in learning it). In the image, I was deleting the phrase to try again. However, the message that appears there in dark text is the same one that shows up when I enter the requested phrase.

Am I shadowbanned?

My post seem to be getting little views and im pretty sure all the views are just mine! The post isn't private but im really not sure why this is happening. Also they aren't showing up for their respective tags. Any advice or help?

Can't pay consolidation fee.

I purchased an item for the first time on rednote. I received an email asking me to pay the consolidation fee for shipping when it arrived at the warehouse. The issue is the app doesn't display anything on the 'To consolidate' tab, it's on the 'To receive/use' Anyone experienced this? I have no idea what to do because there appears to be no real support, just AI agents.
