Does the United States use WeChat?

Wechat emoticons are rich and constantly updated, with delicate interface and attention to user needs and experiences in details, all of which are oriental characteristics. For example, during the Spring Festival, WeChat also launched a homemade New Year's greeting expression pack. Kakao used by Koreans and Line used by Japanese have similar characteristics. These characteristics are not valued by westerners. Westerners pay more attention to functionality.

In addition, another key reason why WeChat is unpopular with foreigners is the difference in communication methods and circles. The feeling I have had with my American colleagues for eight years is that they are more straightforward. If it is an important business or work, they prefer to meet face to face, or make an appointment to have lunch and coffee together. Writing emails is also a common way of communication in the western workplace, because the people and departments involved are more complicated and the emails are more and more clear. If it is a good friend to catch up, many foreigners will pick up the phone and call directly. What can bring us closer than hearing the voice of an old friend and talking instantly? My foreign friends generally reply to text messages very slowly, and seldom use emoticons and emoticons when chatting. Generally speaking, they talk about it, talk about it, and then stop there. I don't want chat software to squeeze living space such as fitness and making friends. Of course there are exceptions. Foreigners who have many friends in China use WeChat very smoothly, and emoticons are everywhere.

At present, in the United States, social chat apps are saturated, and perhaps the next step is integration. Many Americans use iMessage and Whatsapp that come with Apple phones, and Facebook Messenger and Ins have similar private messaging functions. The private messages of Twitter and LinkedIn are more used for workplace communication. To be honest, these softwares are not as easy to use as WeChat. But Americans' fixed social circles are all on iMessage or Facebook, so it is not surprising that they are the first choice. When I was on a business trip in Latin America, I found that many people were using Whatsapp. In Brazil, it is a national application. A Brazilian mobile phone can have no mobile phone number but can't live without Whatsapp.

In fact, a major reason why WeChat is unpopular in the United States is politics. Similar to Huawei's shouting in the United States, WeChat was also suppressed by the US authorities. I have a friend of the US-China Relations Committee who was elected as a member of Congress and deleted WeChat the next day. Many government departments in the United States advise employees not to use WeChat.

Americans use WeChat, but mainly in the Chinese circle, or some foreigners with many friends in China; Or a foreigner, whose company has some offices in China and communicates with the staff in China office every day; Or boyfriend and girlfriend are from China, foreigners who want to chat and say hello to many relatives and friends of boyfriend and girlfriend, and so on. Ha ha.

So why can't WeChat catch fire in America? In fact, in 20 13, Tencent announced that it would open an office in the United States in order to bring WeChat to the United States. Because after the success in the domestic market, seeking overseas growth is the natural next step for WeChat. At the same time, Tencent also saw an opportunity: in the American market, although there are already news applications, none of them can detonate this country, and Tencent still has room and necessity to take a trip.

But in the end, it turns out that things are not what Tencent thought. You can look around. How many Americans have heard of WeChat today? One reason why WeChat didn't become popular in America is that before the arrival of WeChat, Americans used to use facebook, WhatsApp, iMessage and even Facebook's messenger. Americans also prefer to communicate by email and many other existing communication methods.

However, it is still too early to say that WeChat in the United States has failed, because even if there is no WeChat on American mobile phones, WeChat will have an impact. Like Alibaba, it tried to persuade American companies to use their platforms to sell products to China, and called on China and the Internet to save American small businesses. Wechat also tries to attract American businessmen, hoping to help them enter the huge consumer market in China. In fact, WeChat is influencing American products in other ways. For example, Snapchat adopts QR code, which seems to be inspired by China.

Americans don't use it very much, but Chinese in America like it very much.

Americans leave WeChat just like fish leave the earth-Mao has no influence!

In the United States, the presence of WeChat is extremely low, and it is not as powerful as Twitter in China.

But! Wechat is very important in the Chinese community and international students! Without WeChat, it is difficult to contact friends and family in China, and it is also difficult to communicate in the Chinese circle.

Americans' loss of WeChat mainly affects China people in the United States, or people in the United States, once, China.

Yes, of course. There are also many Americans who use WeChat around me. Of course, their mainstream social platform is facebook, but it does not prevent Americans from being impressed by our WeChat. For example, among college students, there are more and more international students from China, which leads many project teams in the United States to cooperate with each other through WeChat. You can do your homework and complete various tasks with WeChat. Wechat was originally used by foreigners to communicate with China students in the project team. Many foreigners have to sign up for WeChat at the beginning. As soon as they used it, everyone felt that communication was convenient, convenient and fun, so they boarded our WeChat boat.

I have many friends, all foreigners with WeChat ID. They are full of praise after using it, and feel that our WeChat has many very special and powerful functions. One of the charms of WeChat is that it integrates the functions of several mainstream American social software. They find it particularly incredible. However, because of Facebook, Ingram, etc. It appeared earlier in the United States, where most American friends are concentrated, so at one time it was impossible for everyone to own WeChat as in China. But as Americans see the fun and practicality of WeChat more and more, I believe that WeChat will occupy more and more American lives in the near future.

It must be mentioned here that the deepening of WeChat in the United States has benefited from the growing strength of China, and China enterprises have begun to do business and deal with more and more Americans, which has also driven many Americans who do business and deal with China people to adapt to the habits of China people and start to communicate, exchange and exchange information with each other through WeChat. The "group chat" function of WeChat is also suitable for people in the same project team. Usually, mass messages are communicated in the work group, and everyone communicates with each other. Sometimes it is much more convenient to hold a meeting overseas and directly start the live broadcast mode than many overseas video and telephone conferences before.

I have a friend studying in the United States who mentioned an interesting phenomenon of using WeChat on campus. She mentioned that, especially in some business schools, many American students are lazy, such as not doing their homework well. China students are recognized as diligent, excellent, hardworking and top-notch. This has prompted many American students to often find China students to copy their homework. With WeChat, it is more convenient to communicate with each other and copy homework faster.

1, say yes first, then why!

The foreign version of WeChat is called WeChat, which is connected with domestic WeChat and can be used! In other words, the United States uses WeChat.

2. Specifically, most Chinese and ethnic Chinese in the United States use WeChat, and a few Americans who need to deal with China people and learn Chinese also use WeChat. Pure Americans simply want to download WeChat, a social software that they often use, and there is hardly any.

3. Wechat is very important in the Chinese community and international students. Without WeChat, it is difficult for Chinese and China people to contact friends and family in China, and it is also difficult to communicate in the Chinese circle. But for Americans, without WeChat, they just don't deal with China people. They mainly use Facebook Messenger, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.

The most commonly used chat software in Japan is Line, and the most commonly used chat software in South Korea is Ka Kao. The most common social software in Russia, Europe, Africa and Latin America is WhatsApp. Many foreign merchants open WeChat mainly for China tourists, and the probability of local users using WeChat is relatively small.

The primary reason why Americans don't use WeChat often is political repression. Government workers are not allowed to use WeChat, and many companies are not allowed to use WeChat.

The second reason is cultural differences. Americans pay more attention to simplicity and directness in social interaction. Americans usually give up WeChat, a complex integrated software, as soon as they try. Of course there are exceptions. Some Americans can adapt as long as they study hard!

The last reason is that Americans are used to the previous software, which is inertia!

Yes, the United States also uses WeChat. But more people are from China or colleagues or classmates who have contact with China people. As other students answered, WeChat is the English name of WeChat. I remember when I was a graduate student, we mainly used Facebook to set up a group discussion. With the strong encouragement of our overseas students in China, many students also downloaded WeChat and set up a WeChat group, including Norwegians, Americans, Thais, Indians, Canadians, Britons and so on. However, because they can only communicate in English, China students are not very active, and gradually everyone no longer uses WeChat to communicate. Finally, they all went to the Facebook group to communicate.

However, American friends who chat alone find WeChat very convenient. Perhaps, more and more Americans will use WeChat in the future.

Most people use it in China, USA.

Chinese in America are divided into two parts. Mainland immigrants like to use WeChat, while immigrants from Taiwan Province and Hongkong like to use Line.

In fact, WeChat is better than facebook, but Facebook is popular abroad, mainly because Facebook started in 2004 and WeChat 20 1 1 started. The difference between the two is 7 years. 20 12 wechat enters the American market. The first impression is the most lasting. Americans started playing Facebook in 2004. After playing for so many years, they are used to it. Let Americans switch to WeChat. The two software models are similar to a great extent, but the WeChat product is more perfect and perfect. Many people who are used to playing one software don't like to switch to another similar software. Although WeChat is more perfect and perfect, it won't help unless the WeChat boss advertises in the United States every day that WeChat is better than Facebook. It can only be said that Westerners in the United States hardly use WeChat, while China people in the United States almost all use WeChat. In the United States, the Chinese population is very large. The United States uses WeChat!

I opened Facebook, but I'm not used to it. Basically, I don't need it. I don't even have the desire to open it.
