WeChat officially responded to when to launch the "clean fans" function: the decision is left to the users and there will be no such function in the future

Added but never spoke, this is a true reflection of many people’s WeChat Moments.

As the circle of friends grows larger and the number of friends increases, it becomes a burden. Therefore, WeChat "cleaning up followers" has become a necessity for many people.

Will WeChat officially launch a "clean-up" function? Recently, Yang Jian, a security expert from Tencent's Guardian Program, said that it is up to the users to decide who to keep and who to delete.

Yang Jian said: "In fact, we will not do so. Instead, we will give the decision-making power to the users. It is up to the users to decide who to keep and who to delete, rather than us using a tool to interfere with them. At least in the foreseeable future, there will be no such function. "

In September this year, CCTV exposed the WeChat fan-clearing scam. This method may threaten your information security. Do not click on the WeChat fan-clearing links shared by others.

According to reports, a service called "WeChat Fan Cleaning" has emerged . After being shared by many friends, the fan cleaning link or fan cleaning QR code quickly spreads in our WeChat groups and WeChat Moments. The so-called "WeChat Fan Cleaning" actually controls the user's WeChat account and uses it to send so-called sharing links to the group, causing more WeChat users to be infected.

Relevant experts said that WeChat fan cleaning carries the risk of stealing personal information. It does this by controlling the software and sending group messages to all friends to determine which ones are "zombie fans" and automatically deleting them .

Before operating these, users need to authorize the fan cleaning software to obtain permissions. Once user permissions are obtained, there is a risk of personal information being stolen or even the phone being infected with a virus.
