Recent screenshots and tutorials circulating on Chinese social media platforms claiming that WeChat had added new "Moments visitor tracking" and "Moments hang time" features sparked widespread attention. However, Tencent, the parent company of WeChat, has officially denied these rumors.
In a response to Jiupai Finance, Tencent clarified that the purported features are "unofficial functionalities" and emphasized that "WeChat currently does not offer a visitor log feature for Moments". The company urged users to "avoid third-party tools, as they violate platform regulations".
As an app with over 1.4 billion monthly active users, even minor updates or rumors about WeChat's features often draw significant public interest.
Official warnings from WeChat's security team highlight that the use of non-official clients "severely violates platform rules". Users are advised to "immediately stop and uninstall illegal third-party software", with continued violations potentially leading to permanent account suspension.
