WeChat for Windows Phone updated with content sharing from Cortana.

The Windows Store on my Lumia 1520 is showing an update is available for the popular messaging app WeChat. Like other apps of its kind, WeChat is a cross-platform app for texting, making video calls, voice messages. Tencent, the China-based company and owner of WeChat, claims the app currently has 400 million users, many of which are in China where WeChat is extremely popular.

According to the change log, the updated app improved on the user experience on Windows 10, but does not give details about those improvements. The second item in the change log is the ability for sharing content from Cortana. I have yet to figure out how that works though.

WeChat is a nice messaging platform with a great walkie talkie which supports real time conversation with up to 40 friends. If you haven't tried it yet, download WeChat for Windows 10 Mobile in the store for free.

WeChat updated with short video sharing.

WeChat is a very popular cross-platform messaging app, especially in Asia. Like any messaging app of its kind, WeChat handles text, voice and video calls quite nicely to serve 400 million users worldwide. One of my favorite feature is the walkie talkie mode with up to 40 friends.

Video sharing is trending these days with almost any messaging app offering the service, not to mention social networks platforms having video sharing built in. It is no surprise to see WeChat join the party with the addition of sharing of short videos with friends during chat sessions or via Moments. Video sharing is part of the update published today in the Windows Phone store. The update also includes the ability to tag contacts so you can find them quickly.

If you don't have WeChat in your messaging app collection yet, give it a try, else get the update in the store.
