Why do you say it’s garbage?



I hope we get an answer to this.

When I had to use it on my first visit to China, I couldn't possibly believe this is an app that people are actually using day to day. Slow, sluggish, graphical artifacts, NPEs.

Then I learned that the "Western" version is totally different, so I believe the real WeChat is a usable product and in par with whatsapp and telegram


Because it's a walled garden. Imagine a Facebook that is strictly real name only, without a web version, and consumes ~50GiB on device typically.


50 gigs!!!! Are you sure? That is massive. Did you mean to say 5 gigs?
