WeChat 5.0 Passes Apple App Store Review, to Be Released in the Near Future

August 2nd news, recently there have been rumors that WeChat version 5.0 encountered obstacles during the Apple review process, causing a delay in its release date. In response to this, the official WeChat team stated, "This information is purely a rumor. Version 5.0 of WeChat has already passed the Apple App Store review and will soon be available to everyone."

Regarding what new features WeChat 5.0 will provide, they have actually been continuously hinted at in various messages over the past two months.

As early as the beginning of June, the WeChat 5.0 beta version revealed functional adjustments in the new version, including the division of WeChat public accounts into subscription accounts and service accounts. In addition to scanning QR codes, the WeChat "Scan" function will also add the ability to scan barcodes, covers, and street views.

At the Tencent Partner Conference in July this year, the WeChat Pay function was officially announced. At the time, Zeng Ming, Assistant General Manager of the WeChat Product Department, introduced the feature to developers with an extremely rare tone of certainty, stating, "Version 5.0 of WeChat will definitely introduce its own payment system, called WeChat Pay."

Not long after, Tencent's mobile gaming platform released several casual game beta versions based on WeChat and QQ user relationship chains, including "Everyday Chain Hero," "Everyday Eliminate," and "Everyday Run." Based on this, it has been speculated that the gaming center will also become one of the key features of WeChat 5.0.

Now, the official release date for WeChat 5.0 is finally approaching, and all speculations will soon be verified.
