Getting support on Wattpad

If you have questions about how to use Wattpad or you encounter an issue, there are multiple ways to get support:

Help Center

If you’re reading this, you’ve already located our Help Center, so you know one of the ways to get support on Wattpad. We have articles on a variety of topics, including how to use different features and news and updates from Wattpad. Our Help Center is currently translated into Bahasa Indonesian, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish. 

Check out our Known Issues page to see what major bugs we are working on fixing. If you are experiencing an issue and don’t see it on our Known Issues page, we recommend submitting a Support request to Support (see instructions below).

Virtual Helper

The Wattpad Virtual Helper is an AI chat bot. You can pose questions and the Virtual Helper will direct you to relevant instructions and Help Center articles. For best results, please ask short questions. If the Virtual Helper does not understand you, try rephrasing the question. If the Virtual Helper isn’t getting you the answer you need, ask it to Contact Support. You will then have the option of submitting a Support request. Please note that this is not a live chat option, and when you are connected to a Support agent (that's not a bot!) it will be through email. 

The Virtual Helper can serve users in multiple languages. If you want to switch to another language, simply type 40+ characters in that language. Please note: the Virtual Helper relies on Google Translate, so its language skills are imperfect.
