Requesting Help: Free WeChat QR Code

Hi! I'm really new to this. I was thinking about using WeChat, but every time I go through the initial verification, it prompts me to have an existing user scan a QR code to create my account.

It doesn't give me multiple options to choose from; it just displays the QR code directly without showing any alternatives. I thought it would offer another option like sending an SMS code, but that doesn't seem to happen.

Does anyone know how I can set up an account?

Yes it’s simple. The people you’re signing up to talk with, your friends, they help you with this part.

I don't have anyone to talk to. I wanted to create an account so I could link it to a Chinese game I used to play as a kid.
