That definitely helped to grab the long tail but in general WeChat is so much more than WhatsApp (Skype is even lower league).
You use it to pay in restaurants, buy metro tickets, rent a bike, order a taxi, order courier services etc. In China it's not an app, it's the app. If they integrated Meituan (local recommendations and discount coupons) you wouldn't need any other app to survive.
