We all know by now that WeChat is a messaging app – and that it’s huge. And we know that stickers are a big part of it. But there’s so much more to WeChat that it can be difficult to convey to someone who’s not familiar with the full range of things that people in China now use it for – both baked-in features and stuff that other companies are building inside the messaging app.

That’s why WeChat is now used daily across China for in-store payments, online shopping, transportation, and dozens of other things. If you live in China, you could realistically use no other app but WeChat all day. Welcome to the WeChat universe.
