Hi folks,

I have a group of Chinese clients (from China specifically) and they only prefer using WeChat (duh..).
yet we all know that weChat is not the best in security/privacy and that is my concern.

As i know there are many third party apps that can run ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, or Facebook messenger.
So i wonder if there is a third party app that can send and receive WeChat messages without using the actual weChat?

TIA.

yes, im aware of that.
Using the highly doubtful weChat app does give the risk to expose my banking and transactions and all personal details in my phone.
My preference is replace weChat with a trustable and secure app, so that even the content of chat is back to weChat server, but atlease my other data in cellphone arent in risk.

Any suggestion for such app in ditching weChat?

traditional = apps that is bulky and lousy, slow, difficult to use, lack of support, no update, not secure = Exactly what weChat is to me.
modernity = apps with sleek UI, secure, easy yet powerful = the kind of app im seeking to replace weChat.

So you want a 3rd party app for Wechat like how there’s quite a few Telegram clients out there.

As far as I know there are none.
Modded apps are probably your best bet sadly.
