Previously, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that due to the national security risks associated with TikTok’s ties to China, the U.S. government could uphold a law mandating the sale or banning of TikTok in the U.S. by January 19, 2025. As a large number of TikTok users, called TikTok “Refugee”, feared that TikTok would be banned, they flocked to RedNote in large numbers, which also led to the software starting to receive a lot of attention. Do you know how to create RedNote account and use it? Now, let’s delve into the following content and find the answers.
What Is RedNote
Is RedNote like TikTok? Actually, RedNote is more like a combination of Instagram and Pinterest, where you can share short videos, photos, and text content. RedNote, also called Xiaohongshu or Little Red Book, is a Chinese social networking and e-commerce platform.
On this platform, you can share and explore various trendy lifestyles and activities, like outdoor camping, home parties, food baking, fitness, and more. Also, you can connect with others and make friends with people from different regions or even countries all over the world. When I use RedNote, I find some interesting posts from different countries. You can use it as an alternative to TikTok.

Fix RedNote Not Sending Verification Code Error
What can you do if you can’t receive the verification code when you use the phone number to log in to RedNote? What factors cause this error? A poor or unstable Internet connection may prevent you from receiving a verification code. Also, if you have settings to block related messages, you can receive the message about the verification code. Besides, some regions have restrictions that block SMS delivery.
To fix the error, you can try to switch between Wi-Fi and mobile Internet, check the device settings, update RedNote to the latest version, and re-enter your phone number for a new verification code.
