Overview
- Starting in September 2025, WeChat stopped automatically reclaiming long-unused accounts, addressing concerns about access to deceased users’ Moments.
- Moments remains time-ordered rather than algorithmically ranked, with posts appearing by recency instead of system recommendations.
- WeChat ruled out a “who viewed my Moments” visitor feature to avoid adding social pressure for users.
- The platform says it will not offer second edits to published Moments, framing posts as a faithful record of personal history.
- WeChat reiterated privacy safeguards by not auto-uploading contacts or revealing read receipts, and reported steady use with about 780 million daily visitors and 120 million daily posters.
