In China WeChat is synonymous with both your business and personal life.
When networking and meeting business contacts you don’t give out your LinkedIn, you give out your WeChat.
- chomp 7y agoDo people have multiple WeChat accounts in China?
- mgbmtl 7y agoI don't know from within China, but from outside China, you can link it to a VoIP account.
- 9nGQluzmnq3M 7y agoYou need to provide government ID to unlock many features of WeChat, so that's likely difficult.
- mdpye 7y agoIs WeChat a social network or a messaging platform? I realise it is expanding, but I'd have no problem doing talking business on WhatsApp (which is the closest analogue to what I understand it to be for).
- r00fus 7y agoThe answer is both. Look at FB - major usage is FB messenger.
- mdpye 7y agoWhich is a separate app and doesn't leak much to the people you talk to (does it? I don't really use FB or Messenger anymore, I don't remember if you have to be friends to get messages delivered) Obviously, it leaks loads to Facebook.
