Question

Can I add a contact on my HP to WeChat?

Yes, you can add a contact on your HP (whether it's a laptop or desktop) to WeChat, but the process may differ slightly from the mobile app. First, download and install the WeChat desktop version from the official website. Once you've done that, log in using your WeChat credentials. You can then sync your contacts from your phone to the desktop app. If your contact isn’t listed, you can manually add them by entering their WeChat ID or scanning a QR code if they’re nearby.
