Connect with new friends, reconnect with old friends.

3.  Real-Time Location Sharing
Planning to go bazaar-hopping with a group of friends for the weekend? Never leave anyone behind and keep everyone in the loop by using WeChat's Real-Time Location Sharing feature. Invite your friends to share where they are and help them navigate their way on the WeChat Map and through an integrated Walkie-Talkie session. Simply open a chat > + > Locations > Real-time Location > to view one another's maps. Now how cool is that?

4.  Group Chat Photo Album
If you want to upload photos in your social networking accounts but having problems scrolling through endless chats, WeChat 5.2 has the solution for you.
