I used HelloTalk actively for about two weeks. My goal was simple - refresh my Chinese, which I started forgetting after university. Unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing. In the Chinese segment a huge percentage of profiles look fake. From my observation it feels like 70–80% of accounts are either scammers or heavily suspicious. Stolen photos from the internet (Taobao, Douyin, Instagram), AI-generated faces, and identical backstories appear over and over again. The script is almost always the same: quick emotional connection → request to move to WeChat → after a few days
