Can non-friends send messages to people on WeChat?

Under normal circumstances, non-friends are not allowed to send WeChat. However, due to version problems, this situation will also happen.

Take Apple's 5IOS 10.2 and WeChat 6.5. 1 versions as examples:

1. On WeChat, the other party shows that they are not friends, but they can send messages to each other, because friends and the other party are not friends yet, and the other party's WeChat has set privacy: I-Settings-Privacy-Turn off the button that needs to be verified when teasing me as a friend. As shown in the figure below:

2. In this case, friends can send messages (including voice messages) to each other through the contact list, and the other party can receive friends' messages (including voice messages), and the other party can reply to friends' messages. At the same time, you can choose the place to make fun of at the top of the chat record. If the other party chooses the place to ridicule, both parties are friends. If the other party doesn't choose the place to ridicule, they are not friends. Because there are no friends in the other party's contact list, if the other party deletes the chat record, the chat can only be initiated by friends.

3. Video chat (including voice chat) is not allowed in this case. When a friend clicks on a video chat website or a voice chat website on WeChat, there will be a message that the other party has not added you as a friend, and can't video chat or voice chat. You need to click OK to return.
