But doesn't WhatsApp basically do this? Just not yet in most of the world.

  What does it do beyond messaging?

    I'm not familiar with WeChat but whatsapp has some business features and also payment integration at least in some countries. Not that far from this description of WeChat: "WeChat provides text messaging, hold-to-talk voice messaging, broadcast (one-to-many) messaging, video conferencing, video games, mobile payment, sharing of photographs and videos and location sharing. "

      As far as I know, the business features it has are just messaging related. You might want to read the Wikipedia article you’ve quoted to understand just how broad of a feature set Wechat actually has.

All the typical voice/video/group video/screen share stuff.

  You can use WhatsApp to make purchases both in the app and the real world?
