I switched to the QQ Chinese Android version, the one used in domestic China, and it is much better.

As for Android, I found that the QQ international Android version was buggy and stopped working. Installation is easy and it works well so far. You need to learn more Chinese, but because it is the version all of China uses, it has been regularly updated. The alternative to QQ international for PC is to move to the QQ Chinese version. You need to learn more Chinese and move to the QQ Chinese PC version, or the QQ Android Chinese or international version. The QQ international PC version was last updated in 2014 and no longer functions well. QQ, Chinese social media versions, 2020 June. Asking people to move to WeChat when they do not want the extra features is a waste. This is unfortunate, because QQ does a great job of messaging and video chat. Foreigners who do not have a solid grasp of Chinese but wish to talk with Chinese people will need to move to WeChat, a much larger and more security invasive ecosystem. I am sad that it was allowed to wither away.

QQ International for PC has a good UI interface and is easy to use. The person to person messaging continues to work, but without any way to send images, this is quite limited.
