Kuaishou returns to WeChat after six-month ban

After being outlawed by WeChat for six months, Kuaishou videos can once again be shared on the Moment’s feed, according to local media reports (in Chinese).

In April, WeChat banned users from sharing and playing short videos through external links from apps including Bytedance’ Douyin, Huoshan, Xigua Video, as well as two Tencent-backed apps, Kuaishou and Weishi.

WeChat lifted the restriction on its own short video app Weishi (in Chinese) in August, but Toutiao’s short video apps including Douyin and Huoshan are still prohibited to be shared in the messaging app.
