Why I can't do anything with photos and videos? The app always said "Please grant me necessary permission," and "Weibo Intl will use storage permission," BUT, I clearly give all the permissions and already open service in my settings phone. Then, is it work? Still NOT. I can't download image or even upload photos or videos

Can't even change my profile picture, the app stopped working immediately when I opened the gallery to pick a picture. And after the newest update, I can't post anything in the forum of super topic anymore (the "say something" bar is still there, but nothing happened when I touched it). I don't understand why.

You can no longer post photos unless it's from Weibo's own folder (useless). I even tried transferring photos to that folder but it still won't see them. The regular version of Weibo won't let me log on anymore so international is my only hope. (International phone number stopped working to log in on both app and web) I really hope they fix these problems but I don't think they want foreigners on Weibo anymore.

If weibo doesn't want international users to sign up just say so than making everything hard for them to get discouraged. If you put an international number when signing up it says you have sent verification codes too many times when you haven't or just says invalid number. Nothing works especially for people living in Western Europe or the US, if you don't have access to a Chinese phone number it won't work

It's great to have an international weibo, But the thing is I can't sign in, it always said that I need to update the latest one but when I checked here there is no update button and my playstore has a auto update app. I hope you can fix it because this application is really amazing if we foreign user can login, so it was easy to us to connect to our Chinese Idol!.. Thank you for reading. Hope you fix it 😘

My account got locked because i don't log in for more or less a month, there's no way to get it back, and I can't sign up for a new acc anymore, because i never recieved confirmation code on my mobile phone no matter how much I try, a lot of friends in the same country as mine experienced this, so I kinda wonder, does this apps region blocked my country, because no one from this country could sign up.

Why this app kept on saying we need to update to the new version to proceed when signing up? Isn't this the new version? Are there others to download? It's kinda weird. And it's hard to recover the account. I made months ago but forgot the password. I click the forgot the password button already but it just provide captcha nothing else. Always error. Oh God! The most difficult and extraordinary complicated soc media app in the world to sign up and login.

I used this before but forgot my account. Now that I changed phone I tried creating a new account with my phone number and I tried signing up. But I tried two times and did not receive the code. A few words also flashed in the screen, something along the lines of “client used an outdated version” or something like that. I want to follow my favorite Chinese celebs and this is where they are most active. Please fix it.

There's no way for a Portuguese person to get the app. I would really like to have it to follow my favourite artists and practice my mandarin with natives but it's just not possible since I'm from Portugal. Please fix this issue by adding Portugal to the countries available. There's many Chinese descents in Portugal.

I really enjoy this app but the ony problem is anytime i try to play a video, it either stops trying to load or is either trying to load but never can play the video. If i'm lucky enough, i can be able to play a video but usually never. I dont know if anyone else has this problem but i hope sooner it gets fixed. Ive tried clearing my cache and reinstalling but it doesnt do anything
