Weixin Got Updated: Named WeChat, Added Facebook Connect, 7 Languages and Path-like Feature

By on April 21, 2012

Tencent has just released its new version of Weixin, the mobile group chatting service with over 100millions users.

We have reported Weixin’s ambition on international market, so not a big surprise, we see

1. Weixin officially has an English name, WeChat;

2. Weixin now supports 7 language including Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesia, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese and English;

3. WeChat’s official site is also launched, http://www.wechatapp.com and it even gets an Facebook Page;

4. International users can now login WeChat with its Facebook account.

Feature-wise, WeChat added one called Circle, which allows users to share photos with a group of friends. I would say Circle is just like Path, but with a bad UI.

If you have it downloaded, my id is: ganglu.
