It’s pretty much the default social app in much of the southern hemisphere. Basically imagine Snapchat, Uber, your landlord’s rent payment site, and a bunch of other things all in one app. It’s crazy how much of the worlds population depends on it.
I’m not sure what app you are thinking of, but WeChat is used in China (Northern hemisphere) and was backed by the Chinese government in order to be established.
There are 1.2 billion WeChat users, over 1 billion of them are in China.
It has snapshot, venmo, Instagram, discord, Whatsapp whisper etc. I think it might also have tinder. It’s pretty much all of the things rolled into one.
Yes and no. It’s backed by the Chinese government and pretty much mandatory for living in, working in China. For example, taxes are done with a WeChat mini-app, companies use only WeChat to communicate (email is rare now). During Covid, you could only get tested by using a WeChat mini-app to register, and no testing meant no life. You can’t cross into or out of China without using a Wechat mini-app to generate a qr code that they scan at the border. etc etc.
It doesn’t do ride-hailing. Didi does that. But WeChat does just about everything else. Oh, and all similar non-Chinese apps are blocked.
i’ve never used WeChat, isn’t it just like every other messenger though?

It’s a bit of an everything app. You can use it for payments for example.
