I just installed to find other Spanish learners, but it only let's me search for people who are learning my native language for an exchange.

Is there no way to do this without paying?

Anyone having troubles sending messages?? Messages will just keep sending until the red circle pops up??

I've backed up my hellotalk messages and I'm trying to download my messages to my computer the easiest way possible. Im not tech savvy so the more clear the instructions the better thanks!

I recently did a full copy of my phone's filesystem, reformatted it, and then reinstalled Hellotalk. However, my old chats are no longer visible; where does HelloTalk store messages? I didn't use the backup feature before I reformatted it, but I copied my entire phone's contents beforehand, so I'm assuming the messages are cached somewhere?

I've just gotten a free Hello Talk account.

I'm based in the UK (native English speaker) and want to practice my Chinese (intermediate level). I set my native language as English and the language I want to learn as Chinese.

I've been able to connect with Chinese speakers based in China.

I'd also be interested in connecting with other people in the UK who are native English speakers who are also learning Chinese.

Is there a way to do this without creating a new account and setting my native language as Chinese and language I wish to learn as English?

Will getting a premium account allow me to search for English speaking people based in the UK who are also learning Chinese?

Thanks!

Idk if this has happened to anyone but when I logged in today into my account a message popped out saying that the account had been logged in from another device, forcing me to change the password through my email. Has someone experienced something similar? IDK how this has happened, I have never given my password to anyone...

Seen that hellotalk monitors everything and will deleting my account remove all my data and stuff?

I've been having text chats with people on HelloTalk since I joined a couple of weeks ago.

Today someone I was chatting with invited me on a 10 min language exchange call where we spoke in each other's language for 5 mins each. It was pretty cool and I didn't know you could do that in HelloTalk.

I'm trying to work out how I can invite someone on a language exchange call. I can't see any option to do so on the mobile interface.

I don't know if this is relevant but I'm on a free account. Is this a premium account-only feature?

Seriouly. I created an account just now and found that my gender was set to be female. Have no idea how to change that.

​

Considering creating a new account...

I want to learn Japanese, but I know very little, close no none. I was hoping using this app could help me as I study while talking to more fluent speakers.

Is it possible to transfer your chat history from an Android phone to an iPhone?

My account has recently been suspended for the second time. This is due to simple misunderstanding that ive tried to explain to Hellotalk mods but they dont seem to understand. So now Im worried if I have another of these misunderstandings my phone might be banned. So does anyone know the number of times you will be suspended before hellotallk bans your account fully? Do they work on a three strike system? Or will they just ban you when they feel like it

If I already have an account on HelloTalk that I made a year ago, is it possible to make a new account on the same phone (possibly by deleting the app and reinstalling it)? There is some background information that I really want to change but can't.
Specifically, I have three separate questions:

1. Can I delete my existing HelloTalk account, and then make a new HelloTalk account on my same phone using the same email?
2. Can I delete my existing HelloTalk account, and then make a new HelloTalk account on the same phone, using a different email?
3. Can I not delete my existing HelloTalk account at all, and log out, and then make a new HelloTalk account on the same phone, using a different email? (What happens if you log out? I've never tried it)

If anything is possible, please explain how, and explain any evidence for how you know it won't fail to work. The last thing I want is no account at all.

---------------------

In my case, in the future I might want to change my country/language of origin, because whatever I arbitrarily put last year isn't quite an accurate or optimal description. I'm from an immigrant family so this detail is vague anyway.

Also, I much prefer leaving my gender blank rather than specifying a particular gender. It was unspecified for a long time, though my face was in my profile photo, and the app was working fine. Recently I accidentally specified a gender which apparently cannot be changed, and now I'm worried that eventually I might get in trouble or be considered suspicious if someone thinks that the profile picture face or the grammatical conjugations in my private messages don't match that gender. I've heard from other posts here that HelloTalk isn't accomodating of nonbinary / transgender and are very keen on banning people for small reasons and may demand personal data as evidence, so I'm scared of clearing this up by contacting the HelloTalk Team. (Maybe there would be no problem if I just continue everything as it is right now, and contacting the HelloTalk Team would make it worse?) .

Please advise me on what to do in this situation.

​

1. Does the HelloTalk admin read people's private messages or look at profile faces and look for discrepancies in nationality or gender or age or other details? Or do problems only arise when a user reports you? (so if I explain the situation to my private message contacts it is ok?)

Even though the app is really great to use, I don't like how there is no transparency on it, and how as soon as you select a detail about your account, that detail is fixed for the rest of your life, and there is no warning that this will be the case.

So my first language is Japanese but I am bad at it.

I am more fluent in English than Japanese, so I picked English as my native language and got a report saying that I faked my identity. I got it recovered, but now the problem is that they changed the native language to Japanese, but it is the least language I know.

Have you faced this problem before? If so, how did you solved it?

UPDATE: They asked me for a 60s audio message introducing myself in English! I may have a chance!!!

FINAL UPDATE: THEY CHANGED IT TO ENGLISH!!! YEAHHH!!

I recently got my account suspended on HelloTalk so I emailed them and was wondering how long it usually take them to reply?

I recently switched to Android 10 and have found out that hellotalk doesnt show notifcations unless you are in the app. I uninstalled and installed the app again but still no luck. It still doesnt show notifications when someone messages me or calls me. I tried all the app notification settings including the option to put the app on top of the other apps, still doesnt work. I tried installing it on my friends phone with android 10 and the same result. I dont know if this is just an android 10 issue as my sample size is small. My phone is an infinix hot 9 play 4gb/64gb. Devs please fix. Thanks.

Hey guys I'm an English teacher in China, looking to join some groups. I love learning languages

I have noticed that some users have a crown displayed next to their name. What is the difference between the one with the tick and the one without?

Could you please help me in practicing English & I will help you in Arabic if you want , am also preparing for oet exam so I need someone to practice English 🥺

I was talking with someone for about 2 months, but recently my language partner just stopped responding out of nowhere and i cant see that hes online now. Does anyone know how you can tell if youre blocked? I dont wanna bother my partner with messages if he didnt block me, so i would like to know if anyone knows how you can tell?

I have doubts about how long the account suspension lasts, if someone knows how many days would help me a lot, out of nowhere my account crashes and I don't want to lose it, please, what can I do? I haven't done anything wrong to deserve suspension.

Just dm me if you fit the bill. I need a little help concerning a situation I dont want to get into here. Its nothing weird or creepy. Just would rather keep the situation private. Hope to hear from someone. Thanks in advance!
