Please excuse me for being negative, but I hate WeChat. To a lesser extent I have to use LINE in parts of SE Asia, and it's crap too. I only use them because I have no choice. I don't want to be socially excluded. The positive thing I have to say about them is that the fact they use usernames instead of phone numbers make it feel like you're just making a casual connection, so everyone is more willing to connect with strangers.
