Hi everyone! I’m Andy from Guangzhou, China, currently traveling and working here in amazing Dubai. I’ve really enjoyed meeting and talking with many of you. But I noticed one small problem:

You mainly use X (Twitter) and Facebook.
We Chinese mainly use WeChat.

So when we want to stay in touch, share photos, or video call later, it’s not easy — we’re on different apps.

Today I want to introduce WeChat to you in simple, fun English — the most popular and useful app in China. I’ll show you why it’s great, what it can do, and how to download & install it step by step.


1. What is WeChat?

WeChat is the No.1 communication app in China.
Almost everyone in China uses it: family, friends, business people, shops, restaurants, hotels, tourists… everyone.

If you want to connect with Chinese people, travel to China, do business, or see real life in China — WeChat is the key.

 
2. The Best Parts of WeChat (All FREE!)

I’ll keep this super clear:

✅ Free text messages
Send messages anytime, anywhere — no cost.
