Is WeChat going to charge money? Two functions will be charged. Those who like to read subscription accounts and use red envelopes should pay attention.

Preface

With the development of social economy, Internet information has gradually become popular in our country. The development of the Internet can "gather" relatives and friends thousands of miles away, and with the rise of smart phones, we can receive information more quickly. At present, our dependence on mobile phones is very large in our lives, and with the rise of social software, people's lives have been enriched. Especially WeChat, which has become popular in recent years, has brought us closer to each other. The number of WeChat users has directly reached 1.2 billion, which can be called a giant in social software.

Is WeChat going to charge money?

WeChat is very easy to install. From the 80-year-old to the teenager, everyone can use WeChat. WeChat's success and status today are inseparable from its design. It has a full range of functions, but the settings are simple. Most people can use it, and it can be said to be suitable for all ages. Another point worth praising about WeChat is that it is a free social software.

A long time ago, many Internet giants discussed that they could not understand the settings of WeChat and thought it was "stupid" to let everyone use this free software. But what everyone may not know is that how much money Ma Huateng made using WeChat. The profit behind it is very high, which has made a large number of software manufacturers envious.

Currently, WeChat is a giant in the social networking software market, and no other social networking software has been able to compete with it. Many netizens are wondering and worried that when WeChat has a certain number of fans, will it charge the same fees as other social networking software? For example, it will charge more than ten yuan per month. Another point is, will it also require additional fees to activate other functions?

Although we can see that it is unlikely that WeChat will implement a comprehensive charging system at present, it is not completely impossible. What we can see is that if WeChat really starts charging, it will also bring huge profits to Tencent with its huge user base. Many netizens also said that if WeChat starts charging, it will definitely be criticized by everyone, and its usage may decrease, but considering the degree of familiarity and ease of use of WeChat, people will still charge money to continue using it after complaining.

After all, in the current situation, no social software can replace WeChat. People prefer and are more accustomed to communicating on WeChat. Even if they have to pay, they can just continue to use it after opening a VIP account like other video platforms. In fact, up to now, WeChat has already started charging for two functions. WeChat is no longer free to use, so it will charge money? Two functions will also start charging. Those who like to use WeChat need to understand, and those who like to read subscription accounts and use red envelopes should pay attention.

WeChat’s two paid functions

The first paid function is subscription account. At the current stage, it is still in the trial stage. The rapid development of new media has made many people see the benefits. WeChat is now trying to charge for public account reading. Many people can get high-quality resources and information for free through public accounts. For some original and high-quality articles, you can only read the full text after paying. And the public account payment is widely known.

The second paid function is the cover of WeChat red envelope. The red envelope open platform has been launched, and users can design the cover according to their own preferences. The fee is set at 10 yuan per cover, and the order quantity must be 100 pieces at least, and the maximum order quantity cannot exceed 1,000. This function is more important for enterprises, and they mainly serve enterprises. For individuals, its impact is very small.

Many people agree with the launch of the WeChat red envelope payment function, because the use of WeChat red envelopes has gradually become a way to integrate the emotions between each other. The introduction of the red envelope customization function can not only meet the personal needs of users, but also make the meaning we express more meaningful and profound, that is to say, it will be more humane.

It is precisely because of the charges for these two sections that some people say that it is possible to implement comprehensive charging measures. Because Tencent Video has previously launched SSVIP services, even though some people are dissatisfied with it and there is a lot of controversy, the number of users has not decreased, but has shown an increasing trend.

Conclusion

For a platform like WeChat with such a large user base, it is not impossible to implement a comprehensive charging measure. However, there has been constant controversy over this. Whether this measure should be implemented still depends on the attitude of the company. Some people speculate that if WeChat really implements a comprehensive charging policy, other companies will definitely promote free social software and take advantage of the opportunity to snatch a large number of customers. What do you think about this?
