A lot of people have used WeChat transfer frequently. It is so simple and convenient. However, it's better to be more careful when making a WeChat transfer, because once transfer money into a wrong account, it may not be easy to get back the money.

With the growth of social networking, it's not strange that we have a bunch of WeChat contacts but very limited people we clearly know. It may cause problems when we wrongly transfer money to them. How to avoid this to happen?

The good news is that WeChat launched a new function recently --delayed transfer. Enable this function, you set a time for the money transfer into the receiver's account, and you may cancel the transfer before that time.

Now let's see how to set up this function on WeChat.

• Choose Wallet, click in the top right corner.
  

• Choose Payment Management and Transfer Time.

• Change it to 2 or 24 hours, and this is the time that you may cancel the transfer.

What to Do If The Wrong Transfer Happened?

Once the wrong transfer has already happened, you still have a chance to get the money back, the following measures help you.

2. If it doesn't work, turn to the WeChat customer service for help immediately. Call 95017, the number specifically solving any payment issues. They can help you get the money back.
