Honestly at this point I'm just confused, on one hand I finally managed to verify my account but on the other I'm asked to authentify myself which I don't mind but I have no clue what ID Number they are asking for? When typing in the last digits of either my passport or my number they say "wrong ID" or "foreign passports aren't supported"
It's a Chinese app that doesn't like foreigners, this is one of dozens of posts I've seen about those exact issue unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to verify
May I know why you had to real name verify your account? Did they block your account and had to unblock?
I'm lucky that my account is still working fine and did not have to do real name verification.
Sorry to say this but you are probably wasting your time. There have been numerous reports that a Chinese ID is now required to complete the verification. If you look down this sub you'll see plenty.
Rednote was great for exposing me to Chinese culture, dressing, history and promoting it as a tourist destination. I'll be sad if I can't use it anymore. Transferring everyone to Rednote is a fantastic way of promoting a chinese norm which China has been wanting to chance (as opposed to a westernised norm currently) so this move is quite bizarre
welcome to chinese social media apps
I'm in the same boat as you, does anyone know if contacting support would resolve this?
Been soft locked too and couldn’t unfreeze even though I haven’t done anything bad. Honestly, I was enjoying rednote but I don’t trust them my personal information, especially to the Chinese government.
So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!
Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.
Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
