#3I think the most mindblowing fact in this report is the fact that 70% of WeChat users have 100+ RMB transaction per month.
This level of mobile payment adoption could only be dreamed of in Europe...

#4It says 67% of users used WeChat to make payments of atleast 100RMB a month. That's a significant number! I guess WeChat makes a commission on that payment. Would that be the largest moneymaking feature of WeChat?

WeChat users can send Red Envelope to friends or relatives. It is often used as a game in a WeChat group. I dont think this can be counted as real payment.

#7Personally I like WeChat's approach: Messaging feature and social feature integrated in one app, with messaging as the default view when you open the app.
Facebook is actively separating messaging feature from the main app and force users to use two different apps, which is inconvenient IMO.
Maybe it is just a legacy issue where Facebook started as a social media whereas WeChat started as a messaging app, but I am interested to see if Facebook would be better by prioritizing "messaging" over "feed".
(Disclaimer: I am a Chinese user.)

I don't think there is a PDF version available from the website. If you don't mind the extra things on the page, in Chrome you can save the entire page as PDF using the built-in print function.

I order lunch on WeChat and send a red envelope inside a group chat as payment after its been delivered. The group has 300+ members. This is the exception, though. There are better ways of making payments through WeChat and I'm guessing that envelopes make up a small fraction of the stated number.

I will never activate my wechat payment. Actually I avoid all Tencent products like plague. Having been seeing Tencent's shameless copy-cating and alluring teenager to spend money on its shitty virtual costumes (In early days, you would have a half naked virtual avatar if you didn't purchase any costumes and costumes have expirations),it is hard for me to regain any trust in this company.
