I had to install WeChat for work. What bothered me more was all the permissions it required to function. As I recall, it wanted access to my contacts, pictures, location. At each request, I tried saying no, and the app exited. I assume the Chinese government got access to all my contacts, pictures, etc. I really wish that apps were required to function in gracefully degraded modes when denied access to permissions they want. And I wish they had to explain each request.
