Interesting features on Wechat:
* Videocall
* Moments: like Twitter where you can share pics too, like FB you can create your own page
* Voice chat: more convenient than typing an SMS...
* Group chat:
* Look around/shake/drift bottle: finding people with WeChat nearby so you can send them greetings
* Facebook connect

I think the company behind WeChat is also developer of QQ messenger.
Don't want to thread nech but yeah, feature wise it surpasses whatsapp/bbm/kik/xms etc.

I find the voice chat feature really good - just hold the button to record the message and it is automatically sent and downloaded on the recievers' phone - unlike whatsapp where you have to record the audio, choose the file to send and the receiver has to download the file.

WeChat is HUGE in Asia, such a pity they dont have an N9 version because a Qt version would allow them to deploy on to so many different platforms including Sailfish - which Jolla is specifically aiming at the Chinese market.
