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)

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

Restricted (& lifted!)

Some good news for people who are panicking about seemingly random restrictions. I got restricted this afternoon (3pm CEST) and it's already been lifted! All I had to do was appeal. Hopefully more of you can have experiences like this, but hope isn't lost! :)

indefinite restriction, denied passport verification…3

indefinite restriction, denied passport verification…

i’m australian born chinese. some of my interests are really niche globally, but has lots of fanartists in china. i’m friends with them on global platforms like xwitter, but they post much more here and also it’s more lively.. i’d really love to see their works (guess i still can, i just can’t share anymore.) so far the changes in my account that i noticed is a fully resetted profile name, pictures, bio. people won’t see my profile and posts, and i can’t make new posts or comment. they’ve restricted the feature to delete this account and make a new one..? it doesn’t bother me cuz i just started, but i’m still a little sad. ive tried the automated appeal with my passport. i dont care if they get my information but when i tried to give my details, it needed me to NFC scan my passport. the facial recognition failed many times since my lighting was too bright. after the 7th try they got it, but said my phone is “unsafe”, therefore it’s not valid. is there just no way around it… ive said absolutely nothing to no one, i like art posts and finally decided to post my own drawings (with my desc text in chinese). did i post too many within 30 minutes??? whatd i even do so far bilibili has been the most kind app to me, taobao has also banned me at one point should i pack it up and leave

Help with package returned

I had a package from xiaohongshu shipped to the Cainiao warehouse, but they rejected my package with a message that said it will be returned to the seller via the original route. I was told that when a package is rejected by Cainiao, it will be returned to the sender via the same tracking number. I’m trying to fill out the Return Details on xiaohongshu, but it’s not letting me enter the same tracking number. So what should I do??
