WeChat made its touchdown in the Philippines last 2013, and the the concept of social media apps for seamless communication has been reinforced to Filipinos.
Brand ambassadors Drew Arellano and Iya Villania starred in a series of television commercials then to show how seamless the social mobile apps fits into our local lifestyles. Indeed, the use of these mobile apps provide more convenience as they allow users to stay connected despite busy schedules. Specifically in WeChat, this is done via βVideo Call,β βHold to Talk,β and βMoments.β
WeChat’s Newest TVC is Underway!
Fastforward to current date, WeChat launches an informative commercial that aims to further educate usΒ about its social functions. In the newest TVC, one of the countryβs top fashion influencer and WeChatβs newest endorser, Laureen Uy, highlights features that come with its latest 5.2 system update of WeChat. I’ve actually seen the TVC just now on TV and it’s pretty cool. I follow Laureen’s blog and frequently read her posts. Needless to say, I’m a fan! π

Sounds like a great product to have. I love animated stickers. They are addicting.
I wonder how the animated stickers are incorporated from the sticker gallery to the chat page. Interesting to know about development. π
Sounds like a good app.. Have to check it out.
Yup, in China, WeChat is the preferred means of communicating. Its βmomentsβ feature allows you to post updates and photos like Facebook.
had never heard of this before, but I am not very tech forward as is. Thanks for sharing!
WeChat has over 300M users. If you’ve never heard of WeChat – you’re not alone. 86% of its users are based in China. However, it is spreading in other countries quickly.
It would be fun to play around with those emoticons. This is a neat app.
Yes. This Chinese-made app has combined different social networking functions to build its 300 million user base. Super adaptable!
That looks like a great app. I like that i has a walkie talkie feature.
I like to play around with that feature. π
Very nice thanks!
The app has a startling array of features. Users can make video calls and hold live chats with friends, host group chats, scan for strangers to talk to nearby, and so much more. Go check it out.
Great app idea!
Yeah, mobile apps now allow free social communications via online. Plus, all the elements are free. This may be one of the reasons that explain why WeChat is exploding in popularity overseas and now locally in the Philippines.
Looks like you have a great product heading your way.
The product is not new. The average user might only use WeChat as they do Facebook. They can keep in contact with friends and family, share moments in their life and make new friends. But WeChat is so much more than this.
I bet I could have some fun in that sticker shop! Thanks for sharing this, it sounds very cool.
I only get the stickers that are for free hehe. π Yup, you’re welcome!
I think she’s a great endorser for We Chat.
Right. Laureen holds the title for being one of the biggest social media influencer.
I wonder if this appeals to younger than me people cuz I could totally see my kids using this
My mom has this installed in her phone! π (We did it for her, secretly.)
Lauren Uy has a lot of followers so this would really help WeChat promote its services.
Yes, I think they chose the perfect endorser for this. She’s a fashion blogger and an actress, too!
What a great app. I love hearing about new apps. Thank you for sharing.
Actually, I’ve been using WeChat for two years now so it’s not something that I consider new. I think only the more tech savvy people are inclined to install and try out apps available in the app market whether they know about it or just want to experiment hehe.
She’s really starting to make it big.
..and she deserves it. π
I could use an app like this because of my son moving away. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely, WeChat will be useful for you to lessen communication costs. Within WeChat, you can also follow public accounts that will periodically send you information. These accounts can be companies, brands, bars, nightclubs, hotels or publications. π
Cool App. Never had heard of it. π
Well, now you know. I’d suggest downloading it and giving it a try. π
This looks like a GREAT app, thank you for sharing
You’re welcome. You gotta try it to experience the great features.
Cool app! It sounds like one I would’ve used when I was living in New Zealand to keep in touch with my Canadian friends π
It’s not only that WeChat can be a great means to expand your network but it can also be a great tool to meet people who share the same passion as yours.
Looks like a really cool app! I love webchats will have to check it out.
Yup. Downloading WeChat can be a quite simple method.
Sounds great, especially the animated sticker stuffs! I’m a very animated person and love to use all kinds of emoticons to get my feelings across while chatting π
Thanks for sharing, nice app! :_)
It’s good to share. π I’ve seen the infomercial about five times now.
Awesome Apps. Thanks for sharing.
