WeChat (微信, Weixin) is een online sociaal netwerk en chatapp van het Chinese bedrijf Tencent. De chatapp werd in 2011 uitgebracht. Het is vergelijkbaar met een combinatie van Twitter, Facebook en WhatsApp. Met WeChat is het mogelijk om diensten en goederen te betalen, zoals het kopen van een vliegticket of het bestellen van een taxi. Hiermee is WeChat veel uitgebreider dan de vergelijkbare westerse diensten Facebook en WhatsApp. Verder leunt de app vrij zwaar op het gebruik van QR-codes. Deze QR-codes kunnen gebruikt worden voor het toevoegen van contacten en voor het betalen in winkels.
