| WeChat's features (text, photo post, video post, live phone and video) mostly work correctly for me, but a number of things frustrate me about it: - Photo zooming and scrolling is broken - Large photos and videos don't load half the time, and the retry mechanism is unclear (but eventually works given enough patience) - Arbitrary limits like 9 photos per post in moments - Really bad for writing and reading paragraphs of text - I use Facebook as my primary social media, and the difference is stark. On a big desktop monitor, I can scroll through a hundred posts and comment on a few per minute. WeChat is mobile-only, and reading and writing is painful compared to PC. - You can't log into WeChat on multiple devices simultaneously. Logging in will kick out the other device. Only the active device will receive and save current messages. And if you switch back and forth, you will fragment your message history across devices. This is unlike services like Facebook Messenger where messages are saved on the server and multiple logins are supported. - Properly transferring message history from one device to another is painful. I did it on ~3000 messages plus ~300 MB of attached photos, and it took 10 minutes of transferring over Wi-Fi plus another few minutes just to digest/re-index all the messages on the new device. - It forcefully uses your cell phone number as your identity, rather than a separate user name |
