Can the court give evidence on the WeChat chat record?

Wechat chat records can be used as evidence in court.

The Civil Procedure Law defines electronic data as legal evidence type. Audio-visual materials include audio-visual materials and video materials. Electronic data refers to information formed or stored in electronic media by means of e-mail, electronic data exchange, online chat records, blogs, Weibo, SMS, electronic signature and domain name. The information on WeChat platform exists in the form of electronic data, which belongs to the category of evidence stipulated by the Civil Procedure Law.

Wechat evidence must meet two preconditions if it is to be the basis for determining the facts of a case:

First, we must be able to determine that WeChat users are both parties. At present, there are four main ways to confirm the identity of WeChat users: the other party admits; Identification of WeChat avatar or WeChat photo album; Network real name, electronic data sender authentication materials or owner identity authentication; A third party organization, namely Tencent, a software provider, assisted in the investigation.

The second is the integrity of WeChat evidence. This condition is related to the authenticity and relevance of WeChat evidence, and the content of WeChat should be able to reflect the complete true meaning of the parties.
