You have to search for Dianping or 大众点评 in the Android Playstore. It appears that they want you to sign in. I got into the Maps applications by pushing the button that didn't have 不 in the title, but registering is more difficult. It appears from that they want a Chinese number, so we can't sign up for this until we receive our SIM.
shot, I did not realize that. they dont support foreign numbers? of course for CN apps, they all need a number to sign in. sometimes they just directly get your number with the cell provider on your phone and you can do one click to sign in with the phone-number... this is not good, for we dont have privacy.
There are a bunch of complaints all from this year of foreign numbers being not accepted, taking over a month to verify, once verified, banned for security reasons. I'm hoping a SIM from China will work.
this is horrible, I did not even notice it. during the COVID lockdown period, foreigners were required to have a Chinese mobile number, as only a Chinese mobile number would allow them to obtain a health code. The government used this to track GPS locations as a means of monitoring the spread of the pandemic. It's truly sad to witness China becoming more closed off; this trend only in the past 5-10 years. Hopefully, in the future, the country can be as welcoming to everyone as it was in 2008.
