WeChat is a social app that gathers all of your sharing and
communication tools in one place, including video calls, text messages, and
images. To fully experience the app, you'll need to get your friends to use it
too, but it's a great way to connect with your friends across all platforms.
HOW TO OPEN WECHAT ACCOUNT??
To get started with WeChat, you'll need to create a user ID
and password, which requires you to enter your phone number and a four-digit
code that is sent to you via text message. The app will need access to your
Address Book, which is par for the course with this type of chat/text app. The
interface has a very simple design and no ads to accidentally tap, which we
greatly appreciated.
Four navigation buttons line the bottom of the screen:
Chats, Contacts, Social, and Settings. The Chats screen lists your most recent
chats, so you can continue a previous conversation or start a new one by
tapping Magic Wand in the right corner. We got a friend to download the app and
were able to text back and forth without any trouble. We loved the Web WeChat
feature for moving from an iPhone to a PC, which was simply a matter of
visiting the site on our PC and scanning the QR code using the app's scanner.
In a matter of seconds, we were ready to chat with our other WeChat friends on
our PC. If you're brave, the Social feature lets you look around for other
WeChat users to chat with, or browse your own contacts. There is a very ample
Settings menu for updating your WeChat profile, adjusting privacy settings, and
browsing a helpful FAQ.
With the explosion of smartphones has come an explosion of
social apps. WeChat stands out as a viable contender and we recommend it to all
users.
THE BENEFITS OF WECHAT TO USERS
Users can choose to
communicate one-on-one, or within their closed social network through
“Moments”. WeChat is free to download from app stores running on iOS, Android,
Symbian, Blackberry and Windows Phone operating system.
WeChat users can broaden their network through a wide range
of innovative actions and methods, including scanning QR codes, connecting
users’ phone books and activating location-based functions such as “Hold
Together”, “Look Around” and “Shake”. This application enhances social
interaction by supporting exchanges of text, voice and video, emoticons,
stickers and photos with their friends over data networks.
Note : You can also sign up using WeChat ID or register the
same via your phone number.
How do you plan to address the security issues?
Users are always in full control of their personal data when
using location based services (LBS). They can opt in and out of LBS functions
any time, so they cannot be found via the Shake and People Nearby features.
Users can even choose how friends are able to find them. By
turning off Find Me by Phone and Find Mobile Contacts phone numbers are safe
from being exposed.
To further enhance security levels, WeChat users can also
protect privacy by limiting who can view posts, pictures and comments in
Moments, ensuring they only share and interact with trusted contacts.
we also comply with relevant laws in the countries we are operating
in. As a preventive measure to protect
the privacy of WeChat users, only friends who are granted permission to connect
will be able to view users’ posts and pictures. Further, this also applies to
users who wish to initiate voice or video chats.
Moments is an exclusive feature for WeChat. Users can share pictures and posts
with close and trusted friends through the Moment. Users can also follow brand
accounts by scanning the QR code or searching for their ID via the tool “Adding
Friend”.
