- TomMarius 8y agoAre you sure about the "whole lot more functionality" thing? I am not aware of any other app that combines chat with taxis, for example.
- enedil 8y agoOh really? And do you have built-in microblogging platform? Do you have OCR with English-Chinese and Chinese-English translation? Do you have mobile payments? Do you have discover people feature (by location)? Can you identify movies by recording audio? Not only payments are possible, you can send money to anyone in WeChat. Sadly, some of these functionality are not available for non Chinese people (people without account in Chinese bank).
- holoduke 8y agoDidn't know so much is inside . Thought it is the Chinese WhatsApp variant
- JCharante 8y ago> Can you identify movies by recording audio? Wait how can you do this? I've tried searching in English (can't write Chinese) to no avail.
- enedil 8y agoI can read and write Chinese only partially, but that's not needed here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bd61em3tieo8ry0/Screenshot_20190119-135131.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/bd61em3tieo8ry0/Screenshot_2019011...

- htfy96 8y agoIt's more like Chrome/Google play framework in China (and they are all blocked). Not surprising if you compare WeChat to a combination of GPay, GGame, GStore, etc.
- abc-xyz 8y agoYou should try to inspect how many files they've stored on your SD card. I recently checked with my friend who says he barely use it and it was over 35.000.
