WeChat, the messaging app, dominates daily life in China. With more than a billion daily active users, it is the default option for social networking and chat. WeChat users send more than 45 billion messages a day. It is the leader in mobile payments, with more than 800 million users of WeChat Pay. And it provides integrated services for upwardly-mobile Chinese users, by offering taxi, restaurant, movie-booking and retail apps all within its platform.
