Social networking and messaging apps, which continue to grow in popularity, are the best ways to provide our customers with an enhanced user experience. We are excited about our collaboration with WeChat and look forward to working closely with WeChat to bring even more innovative features to our customers across all our phones.” WeChat has a worldwide user base of 70 million people and supports text, voice and video messaging.

You can download WeChat for free from app stores of iOS, Android, Symbian, BlackBerry and Windows phone operating system. Craze of social networking amongst Indian youth is quite evident from the success of messenger apps like WeChat, Line Messenger, WhatsApp and Facebook messenger to name a few.
