Two Super Useful WeChat Features You Need to Know About!

I think we can all agree that WeChat is, for lack of a better word, truly amazing. However, it can sometimes feel slightly overwhelming with its plethora of settings and features to choose from and use.

Today, we would like to shed some light on a few features that are definitely worth a look. Many of you may already know about them and use them on a daily basis. 

Here’s the first one: have you ever wanted to send a personal message - such as greetings - to a large number of people at once, but wondered if such a thing was possible on WeChat? 

Especially for professional purposes? Well… it is! 

Just follow these simple steps:

Me - Settings - General - Plugins - Broadcast messages - Send now 

You can then choose up to 200 contacts to send your message to, and… voila! 

If you’ve attended a business or networking event in China in recent years, chances are you must have heard organizers mention a special group that they have already set up on WeChat at the end of their presentation so attendees can access materials and photos from that event. 

But does that mean they need to personally add you directly into the group chat?

Negative! 

Admins can create a private group chat on WeChat and generate a unique link and a QR code for others to scan and join on their own. They can create a password and share with whoever needs to join this chat.

These are just a couple of tips and tricks among a vast sea of other features out there across the WeChat platform, and we’ve covered some of them in previous articles (see links at the end). 

Do you know of any other lesser-known functions that you could share? 

Let us know about them in the comment section below!
