 A friend asked me to communicate with WeChat. I downloaded the WeChat for
 Macintosh and Windows, and got a QR image. So I bought an Android phone,
 scanned the QR, and got an ERR, meaning that WeChat is blocked in the UAE.

 So I tried to load Tor for Android, but it could not reach directories,
 with or without bridges, I get an error that a Firewall is blocking access
 to the bridges/directory servers.

 Is there a version of Tor for Android that works in the UAE? Is it the
 phone I bought, a Nokia 6.1? Does Tor run on other Android phones?

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
