Weixin and WeChat, a Way of Life

Weixin and WeChat are more than messaging and social media apps – it is a lifestyle for over one billion users across the world. Chat and make calls with friends, share your life’s favourite moments, enjoy mobile payment features and much more.

Launched in 2011, Weixin and WeChat have been enhancing the lives of hundreds of millions of users with their innovative features.

Weixin is one of the most widely used Chinese communications and social platforms that integrates instant messaging and social entertainment, bringing a mobile digital lifestyle on an easy-to-use app.

The platform continues to add various innovative functions to meet user needs, such as Moments, Official Accounts, Weixin Pay, Mini Programs, Weixin Search, Mini Games, and Channels. Weixin is committed to providing users with a superior mobile digital life experience.

Weixin and WeChat are separate but interoperable sister services. While Weixin is designed for users in the mainland of China, WeChat is designed for users elsewhere. As of September 2022, the combined monthly active user number of Weixin and its international version WeChat exceeded 1.3 billion.
