Moving in the direction of an everything app, like WeChat?

I was horrified at this news at first, but WeChat isn't too terrifying, and they're far more ubiquitous.

I just hope the social network aspect of Facebook (and Instagram) continues to shrivel.

Finding out people use a proprietary chat app as a primary payment mechanism is indeed terrifying. Now on to a proprietary currency!

WeChat is absolutely terrifying, ask poor Winnie the Pooh or the uighurs.
